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, Thank you (for) this experience. Without you, I wouldn’t be more open to my feelings. I have always hid my darkness feelings that I never tell my best friends or anyone. The way you did the workshop was well organized. It was too bad there were times it was sped up ...

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, 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 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 ...
