Dear Jack, I would like to thank you for firstly coming to our school and allowing us to have this experience. I would also like to thank you for helping me open up to people about vulnerable moments in my life. I truly think we made a difference in some of these grade ...

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 ...

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. ...

This was a very interesting and nothing like I expected. It really helped us bond and I feel closer to everyone now. Walk the line was very touching and it showed how people really felt. People who were shut tight opened up and showed their emotions. I’m glad to have had the chance ...

I really enjoyed your program today. It made me realize that people have really serious problems that I never knew about. It also persuaded me to stop and help prevent bullying in G.L. and wherever I do. Thanks, Jack and Jim. (original message)

Crying was such a huge relief – I have kept things inside for so long. I’ll remember this day for the rest of my life!!

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. ...

Thank you! What you brought to our school is “Hope”. Hope for a better tomorrow. Hope that if we believe in ourselves and in each other, we can truly make a difference. Our school is broken in ways that most people can’t even comprehend. Today marks the first day of healing. You made ...

It was great to let our emotions just be free for a day!!

Thank you for today. You have made me learn new thing and make new friends. You have shown me that there are other people who feel the way I do. I learned that certain things annoy people when they talk to me and that somethings seem to annoy me too. I have noticed ...

Dear Jack, When I first walked in, I thought we all are just going to play around, meet new people and watch a movie. But well I was so wrong. I had the best time here, met all new people, you made me feel special, safe and welcome. The most emotional part is ...

There should be more things like this & uplifting things for schools on a regular basis. Great for boys to be allowed to cry. They’re always expected to be tough. (original message)

This is my second time participating in this, and it doesn’t get easier. It was hard to open up to people that I didn’t know, but it was a great experience. It was hard to see people cry, even if I didn’t know them, and especially difficult to see the amount that go ...

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 thank you for doing this leadership program today with us. I learned that one of my friends isn’t very happy and doesn’t feel safe from the line you you had us do. I want to thank you so very much for this. If you hadn’t done this it would have ...
