Dear Jack, Thank you for today because I got to meet and talk to children I never would have spoken to before. I’m new to Madonna, in fact new to Canada, so as you can imagine I have no friends as yet and as a result, I find myself on my own a ...

Dear Jack, I really enjoyed your leadership workshop. I feel that you’ve helped open my eyes more, to realize I’m not alone in this world. Also I learned to be a better leader and even to becoming more of a better friend. Thank you for this great opportunity that I experienced today. One ...

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 ...

Well this is second time coming to Quest I’m On and all I can say is you got me again! You guys are probably the best speakers I have ever heard and you just inspire me so much to grow and do something like this when I’m older. The hardest parts of today ...

Everything I learned today will be very useful. I can help other people with problems and going through hard times. My promise is to help students feel more comfortable. (original message)

Dear Jack, Thank you for today. Today you helped me very much. You helped me to let out my bottled up feelings. You made it a fun experience, while we were learning to trust complete strangers. Today you showed me that I’m not alone and that I have an amazing support system, that ...

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 ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for this amazing activities. They really helped me a lot. I learned that if we need help we have to ask. We won’t always get ask if something is wrong. My promise is that from now on I will ask for help when I feel like talking to someone, ...

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)

I would just like to tell you how thankful I am that you guys came here today! You both are brilliant guys and have taught me so much over such a short period of time. I think I’ve learned some of the most important values of life today. This program has opened my ...

Even with all this emotion in this room, it seems hard to be able to express these emotions or cry. But, with this presentation, it’s helped me open up a lot more with my friends, or even people I don’t know. This day has changed my life in every aspect by the way ...

Dear Jack, What I most enjoyed about this workshop is how you picked random people in our class for group leaders. By doing this, it allowed me to communicate better with my peers. Since I was in a group with random people, I was forced to talk and this helped build my communication ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for the experience I had. I think it was a good opportunity to experience. It made me think of things differently on what I do and think. Hearing other opinions on other people made me realize you don’t know what they have been through so don’t be so quick ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for teaching me how to become a true leader and listener. I will use the knowledge that I have gained to become a better person and to help those in need. Today I have found my inner self and found a lot about others. One thing that I will ...

I expected it to be a boring day. I learned that I am actually very unfair to my mom. It was a very safe space because everyone came here for the same reason. Talking to another parent really helped. It was like if you can tell a stranger, why cannot you tell your mom? I ...

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)

Dear Jack, Today I met a lot of people and my impressions of them had changed from when I first met them. I made a marshmallow pasta sculpture thing and I made a lot of great friends. I sincerely thank you for coming to our school and being with us here today, because ...

Because others expressed themselves I felt I could.
