Your story really impacted my life, I teared up many times during you talking and it broke my heart. But you truly are an inspiration to me and many other. I just wanted you to know that you have touched my life more than you know. You made me realize that everything God does, has a meaning to it.

I heard your speech today during school and it was amazing! I stutter and have to go to speech class and the transition to middle school was very hard for me, meeting all the new people and the people meeting me and hearing how I talk. Your speech helped me so much with dealing with the stresses of stuttering and school in general. I think you have moved a lot of people with your story and how you deal with your problems and difficulties.

Your story amazed me, you are truly amazing. You have made me think really hard about my life. I have had some really bad troubles in my life, but hearing yours I've realized that I'm a luckier one. Your seven secrets to happiness have made me a lot happier already! I just love how you are not afraid to be who you are, and you are not afraid to tell your story. You are an amazing person and I will always remember the day I saw you.

I have never been so inspired by someone so quickly. My parents are divorced and I thought I had it hard. Listening to your story inspired me so much. I just finished reading the little booklet you gave us and I'm honestly so blessed for everything I have! God makes everything happen for a reason and I strongly believe he has a plan for us all! I was sitting directly Infront of you while you spoke to us and everything you said made so much sense to me. I know I don't know you personally but you are a inspiration to me and something I will never forget! Im so glad God was by your side through all of this and still is! You are a living miracle. God is good!

I loved listeaning to you speak at our school. You are my favorite speaker ever! What you said was very moving. I like how you said 'so what' to bullies. I am also teased about different things, but after hearing your talk I will smile and put things behind me. I am the kid who is nice to people who are diffrent and treat them as an equal. Your lecture really moved me.

What an wonderful story! I was amazed at how much you have had to overcome in your life, but even more so at your attitude and testimony to God's grace. Thanks for taking the time to share your message with my son and his school. The first thing he did when he got home was read every word in your story to me and tell me how much he enjoyed hearing you. You are truly being used by God to influence young people's lives and I appreciate it.
