You guys are two of the most amazing people I have ever had the honour of meeting. You taught me to be myself no matter what everyone says and not to care what people said when I try to stand up for others. And when someone needs to talk I make time, and ...

Dear Jack, This was a very emotional experience and I learned a lot. I learned to trust, to accept and to forgive others. Hopefully I keep these lessons with me for the rest of my life. This was a truly unique experience and I hope I will be able to do this again. ...

I was grateful that you came here to do this. If you didn’t a lot of people would still feel left out and like no one cares. You helped everyone up. I had never told anyone that I cry myself to sleep just about every night. I also never told anyone that I ...

Dear Jack, I wasn’t here for the whole day, but from when I came to the end of day the activities that I did were very helpful. The last game we played, cross the line, was very “intense” because the questions weren’t simple questions, they really made you think and express what you ...

I really wasn’t going to come today but I glad I did come. You guys were a blast. I wish that we could get you to come back and do this again. Your program Quest I’m On is really great and you guys have to be amazing that you can go through all ...

Dear Jack, Thanks for the fun day. You made me realize how easy my life is compared to others during the last part of the day. With what I learned today I want to change what goes on at school. I want people to stop the bullying and the name calling. I want ...

Dear Jack, I think you are of the coolest older person I’ve met. I admire the way you were able to lead a bunch (of) teenagers to do something meaningful with their time. I don’t think I have anything I would want you to change about how you handled the workshops because you ...

I expected it to be fun and it really was. It enlightened me that there were so many people just like me and that we all understood each other. I learned that lots of people cared and were willing to help whoever needed it. I learned that I enjoy meeting new people. I ...

Thank you so much for coming to our school to run this amazing program. I feel that through this experience, it has brought us closer together as a school, but more importantly, as a community. You’ve brought to my eyes that no matter what happens, no one is really alone. Therefore, no one ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for this DAY! For letting us express our feelings with you on this day :). I learned a lot today, and I hope you can come again! (original message)

Leader’s Quest Program

Dear Jack, Thank you so much Jack, this was an amazing day, you’re a great person Jack, I’m happy I come to this leadership. I had a lot of fun even though I ended up crying. Hope we can meet again! Thanks again. I like the activity we did at the end. It ...

Dear Jack, Thank you so very much for all that you have taught me. Personally for myself I learnt a lot about me, and started looking at things from a different point of view. I think that from this day onward I will take into consideration people’s feelings, and the way I look ...

Dear Jack, Today was definitely a learning experience for everybody. I think everyone really learned something new about someone or something. Thank you so much for coming to Madonna and teaching everybody a little bit about themselves and others. I promise to try and be a better leader and help people when they ...

Dear Jack, I really want to thank you for coming and doing this workshop with us. I never told my story to so many people I never thought to trust. I never wrote down my life story and let someone beside myself read it. I now feel more comfortable talking about my story. ...

I just want to thank you for having this program. Whether I realize it or not, I’ve connected with people that I never saw in the school before yet they still go to it. This program helped me a whole lot by letting my thoughts, expressions and feelings out to others. It also ...

Dear Jack, To be completely honest, I thought this day would be light, fun and cheery. I never expected to actually learn anything about myself or my peers. I thought it would be just a bunch of games no one took seriously. I’m glad I came today because I was able to express ...

Dear Jack, I’ve gone to a couple of other leadership workshops in the past and I have enjoyed this one the most. The reason is that in other workshops, it was mostly just discussions about how we could change the world (third world countries, lack of water). These are great initiatives but what ...

This day has been very inspiring. I know now that there are many ways to feel and none of them are bad. I always felt alone, but now I know that there are people out there who care about me as a person. Also, that there are people out there who need my ...

Dear Jack, Today was great. Really. You encouraged us to dig deep and open up. Also you made us feel that crying was a natural and good thing. Thank you so much. You also touched topics that a lot of us are afraid to talk about like being violated and thinking about suicide. ...
