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 ...

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 ...

I want to thank you for a wonderful experience. The environment that you created made everyone feel safe & that we could be honest about ourselves & our feelings. I really do believe that together we have made a difference in many lives today. I truly thank you both for what you are ...

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. There are things I never would have let out by talking normally with my friends, things that I needed to get out ...

I’m very surprised by this. It has been the greatest seminar I’ve attended at school ever. It has made me realize a lot of things. I really appreciate you coming to our school. Sincerely. (original message)

This day was full of surprises and unexpected reactions. Today made a powerful impact on the way I see things. It showed that guys have feelings too and that we are all equal… This day was needed to help us open up. Thank you so much. Everything seems so amazing how real life ...

Even with all this emotion in this room, it seems hard to be able to express these emotions or cry. But, with this presentation, it’s helped me open up a lot more with my friends, or even people I don’t know. This day has changed my life in every aspect by the way ...

When I left there it made me feel a whole lot better about myself!

Thank you so much! If it wasn’t for you coming today I wouldn’t have learned so much about others in my school. And no one would have known the real me. I finally got to get so much off my chest. Stuff that I have been holding in for a very long time. ...

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 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, Thank you for this amazing experience. It has showed me a lot about being a leader, and being respectful to one another. Today, I will walk out of here with a brand new attitude towards being kind. When we had to cross the line for our problems, it really it me ...

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 ...

Thanks a lot & I hope to see you again one day. My promise is that I will try to help support as many people as I can. Love. (original message)

Leader’s Quest Program

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 ...

Thank you for coming in. I think that the whole school should have to do this. It was a great way to learn about other people’s problems in the school. (original message)

Student age 15, grade 10

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)

Student age 15, ...

This is my second time participating in this, and it doesn’t get easier. It was hard to open up to people that I didn’t know, but it was a great experience. It was hard to see people cry, even if I didn’t know them, and especially difficult to see the amount that go ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for the workshop you did for us today. This workshop has helped me and I’ve learned many things of becoming a leader. Especially some of the activities you have done made me realize what people are going through in their life. Overall I’m glad I’ve experienced this workshop and ...

Dear Jack, I really enjoyed your leadership workshop. I feel that you’ve helped open my eyes more, to realize I’m not alone in this world. Also I learned to be a better leader and even to becoming more of a better friend. Thank you for this great opportunity that I experienced today. One ...
