What the Students say:

You are the only person I know who makes abstinence sound like a really good thing to do.  Also, most of the things you said really helped me a lot.  Thanks. Diandra

I really appreciated your speech.  It really opened my eyes to understand the pros and cons about relationships. - Dwayne

You spoke very bluntly and you told it to us straight.  Very informative and good work.  Andrew

It was an honour meeting you.  When most adults talk about sex, the first thing they talk about is what a disgrace it is.  They fill their children with how bad it is so if the child does make the mistake, they don't come to their parents.  You did a great job.  Keep it that way. -Noor

You are one of the few adults I was able to listen to without boredom and I felt like you enthusiastically connected with teens.  You didn't hold back.  Thanks. - Daina

Your speech really answered all the questions in my head about relationships, sex, love, etc.  Great to talk with, it was as if I had no problem with talking about personal questions.  Thanks a lot. - Cole

Your speech really answered a lot of questions we would never have asked any other person.  Thank you for your insights on the topic.  You were a lot of help to all of us. - Jean Pierre
