“I absolutely loved your speaking today, you presented it so well, and kept me entertained the whole time, I literally couldn’t stop listening, everything you said was so relevant, one thing you talked about that really effected me was when you talked about putting the blame on one thing, and how you talked about how we are all important individuals and how we are all on this world for a reason. I would love to meet you again and I personally think that what you said would have changed many peoples lives including mine. Thank you so much, I enjoyed every minute of it.” Maddy (Student)
