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 ...

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

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. ...

Thank you so much for coming to our school to run this amazing program. I feel that through this experience, it has brought us closer together as a school, but more importantly, as a community. You’ve brought to my eyes that no matter what happens, no one is really alone. Therefore, no one ...

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 ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for today. I enjoyed it. I learned to be a better listener and a better leader. At the beginning of the workshop, I thought I’d feel left out. I saw many familiar and unfamiliar faces. I expected today to run more different than it did, but it was interesting. ...
