I just want to thank you for having this program. Whether I realize it or not, I’ve connected with people that I never saw in the school before yet they still go to it. This program helped me a whole lot by letting my thoughts, expressions and feelings out to others. It also ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for coming to our school! I really enjoyed it, and the skills we learned like teamwork, and supporting people really helped me a lot. Also, the words you spoke to me about my presence and how it is so noticeable that I can light up the room made me ...

Today helped me realize that I’m not the only one struggling with situations. Now I have some people I might go to for help that I wouldn’t have before. It helped me also realize people are being judged for more than race or gender. My friends helped me do this allowing me to ...

Dear Jack, Thank you so much for coming to Madonna! I think all of us here will take lessons back and put them in effect in our lives. I really liked how you emphasized listening and its importance. In this fast-paced world we now live in, we all don’t listen to each other ...

Dear Jack, I want to say thank you so much for showing me that there are people like me. That I’m not all that different from girls from what I always thought I was. Thank you for helping me make friends because high school has already brought me down a little. You didn’t ...

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, This experience with the younger students was interesting and inspiring. I felt that I have had done a pretty good job in reaching out, and also learned to do better with communication, thanks to your workshop training sessions. Although these workshops were surely successful and moving for the students at the ...

This gave me chance to say sorry to some people I hurt.

Brian age 13, grade 8

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 ...

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 ...

Thank you for today. I came in here this morning thinking it would be gay and I wasn’t going to come. But it turned out to be alright. The best activity (the line) was very emotional but I feel a lot better letting it out and for that I thank you guys very ...

This day was a very event filled day that shown me a lot about others when I believed it couldn’t happen to them because I see them in school and they’re basically happy but I know it’s a mask waiting to be town down, just like I wear every day of my life. ...

I was grateful that you came here to do this. If you didn’t a lot of people would still feel left out and like no one cares. You helped everyone up. I had never told anyone that I cry myself to sleep just about every night. I also never told anyone that I ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for this experience, it really opened my eyes to so many things I experienced and learned today. You showed us how to work together and put us in groups so we can co-operate with each other, for us to be a leader, to be respectful and get to know ...

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 ...

Thank you for coming here in Madonna school. Thanks for the things you did for us, and make us realize that at some point we can be leader even how small or big it is. I know I didn’t become a leader in my group but in myself I know some day that ...
