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 ...

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 ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for all the things you taught us. This day was kinda fun so far. I promise that I will talk or support the people who have problems or something. And I promise that I will change myself. I will not be shy anymore. (original message)

Today has been intense and scary. I never felt so vulnerable in my entire life and I have never felt so hurt. It was amazing. At first I was skeptical. What will we do? How will this affect me? What’s the point? Why do only I feel this way? I was afraid of ...

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)

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 ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for today. It was really fun and interesting, I’m glad I joined. This leadership session has taught me a lot, I feel more comfortable with the people around me. I even made some new friends. This session also made me aware of everyone’s problems. I noticed some people have ...

Dear Jack, This experience today has been life changing. I was unsure of what to expect coming into this, but I have left with a complete new mindset. Today you taught me things that I’ve never known before. There’s a lot going on in my life and I’ve been through a lot. I ...

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 ...

Thank you so much. I have felt so alone and unwanted. It’s so hard for me to find that one person that I can talk to. The last couple days me and my mom have been butting heads. She took her anger out on me and hit me. This made me feel so ...

Because others expressed themselves I felt I could.

Dear Jack, Thank you for today. It was inspirational and fun filled with activities, and communication! You’ve opened my mind to other perspectives and had my mind for sometime. Our activities from the marshmallow castle to the over the line activity, it was entertaining. I thank you for a great day and you ...

Dear Jack, Today you taught me how to help people & how I should deal with my problems, I thank you for that. You showed me that there are other people who are in the same situation as I am in. I promise to help people no matter what the situation is & ...

Quest I’m On is a great program. I was very surprised about how much we all learned about each other and ourselves. I learned that I am not alone and there are others out there dealing with the same problems as me. I think this was helpful for everyone and I also feel ...

Hi Jack, I really enjoyed this leadership workshop! It wasn’t boring at all :). The “Cross the line” game made me realize that we’re NEVER ALONE! People will always be there and I know I’ll be there too. I’m going to be my normal self: outgoing, humorous and loving & I promise to ...

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 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 ...
