Dear Jack, Thank you for working with us on this workshop because without you this wouldn’t be happening. Jack, you believed that we could do this workshop when others said we cannot. In addition, you made us learn a lot about communication, body language, eye contact and patience, little things that make our ...

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 ...

Thank you for coming in. I think that the whole school should have to do this. It was a great way to learn about other people’s problems in the school. (original message)

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. ...

Dear Jack, Today we learned many different things about leadership and how to listen. It made me think about my life, the problems, the good things and how to change things. I think this definitely made me realize that if I wanted to, I could make the changes. I have to bring out ...

There is not a lot I can say other than… thank you and don’t stop! (original message)

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 ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for this amazing experience. It has showed me a lot about being a leader, and being respectful to one another. Today, I will walk out of here with a brand new attitude towards being kind. When we had to cross the line for our problems, it really it me ...

This was a very powerful experience. I found that the activities encouraged people to truly look within themselves – explore their feelings – explore the reasons for the way they present themselves to others and to consider ways in which they can change themselves. I think that participants have developed more tolerance for ...

I would like to thank you for coming today. You really helped a lot of people, including me. I had a lot of bottled emotions and you helped let it out. I truly am glad. I feel now that I can trust the people around me more. I’m really thankful of you and ...

Thanx for coming to our school. Meant so much. Gave us the chance to open up & see everything with new eyes! (original message)

When I left there it made me feel a whole lot better about myself!

Dear Jack, Thank you for this leadership workshop. It was very inspirational, and I felt that there were things in me that I need to change. When I go home, I’m just gonna take some time to just search through my thoughts, and figure out what I need to change in my life. ...

What moved me was watching people really getting hurt feelings out of their heads.

Dear Jack, Today’s class has taught me a lot. I learned who I really was & all my faults. I have realized the events that occurred in my life. I promise with all my heart to make the future events less painful and instead make it brighter. PS. Thank you! (original message)

Today helped me realize that I’m not the only one struggling with situations. Now I have some people I might go to for help that I wouldn’t have before. It helped me also realize people are being judged for more than race or gender. My friends helped me do this allowing me to ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for coming to help us throughout this workshop. This improved my communication skills a lot. Come back to Bosco next year to help the next ones doing this activity. There’s really nothing to improve on since the workshops were successful. (original message)

My expectations for the day were that it could get the majority of people emotional which would most likely get me emotional too. Personally I think the most important message you guys were trying to get across was that people have problems in their lives and when you tease them it doesn’t make ...

Dear Jack, I had a really nice time for the anti-bullying workshop. This workshop made me experience a lot of things and that younger children need help. And I really thank you for letting me in this workshop and seriously it changed, especially the water line. I liked it and made me see ...

Thank you for your commitment to this Quest you’re on! Bit by bit, I believe we can change the world and enrich our children’s lives with love, challenge and purpose. God bless you both. Your parents have instilled in you love & caring for all. Thank you. (original message)
