I’m really thankful you both came to GL Roberts because there are so many students not accepting themselves & every student that came today & yesterday greatly benefited from your program.

Being a leader for this time through, I had different expectations and responsibilities but it still had a huge impact on me. For instance, I wasn’t expecting my younger peers to open up as much as they did and I was able to realize that even with the age difference, we all experience ...

I enjoyed the experience because I met new people. Thanks for getting our family together.

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, 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 & ...

I would like to say thank you so much for coming to my school to do this again. I really enjoyed you both doing this for us. I found it to be a very very good experience for me and everyone else. It is very touching all. It makes people change, well at ...

I’m thankful that you came to our school to discuss our quest. I loved all the activities. It helped me and teached me at the same time. Jack, your methods are amazing and I give you credit to come in our school and adapt. This was no easy task but you never know ...

It’s hard for me to cry in front of people. I feel uncomfortable and when I’m with people tears won’t come. Today I saw other people are like that too. This is a great program. You guys are really sweet. Thanks for coming. Sincerely. (original message)
