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

Dear Jack, Thank you so much for this experience… though I did not like the last game because often times I don’t like expressing my feelings. Sometimes I feel very alone even though I still have so many friends and I know they will always support me. Often times, I don’t feel like ...

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, Thank you very much for giving up your time to help try and better people lives. I know you helped me because you showed that I am not the only child who has problems. People are going through the same things as me and probably worse. You/this workshop showed me that ...

Dear Jack, I thank you for doing this leadership program today with us. I learned that one of my friends isn’t very happy and doesn’t feel safe from the line you you had us do. I want to thank you so very much for this. If you hadn’t done this it would have ...

I would like to start off by saying thank you for this day. You are very inspirational and I learned a lot. I really liked this workshop. I’m glad my teacher recommended me. No one has ever moved me as much as you did. I wish I can take a workshop like this ...

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, 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 ...

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 ...

Dear Jack, I really want to thank you for coming and doing this workshop with us. I never told my story to so many people I never thought to trust. I never wrote down my life story and let someone beside myself read it. I now feel more comfortable talking about my story. ...

This was a very interesting and nothing like I expected. It really helped us bond and I feel closer to everyone now. Walk the line was very touching and it showed how people really felt. People who were shut tight opened up and showed their emotions. I’m glad to have had the chance ...

Thank you very much. You helped me open up my feelings and not be afraid of what people say about me so thank you so much for all of your help. You rock so thanks, Jack and Jim. (original message)
