“I was a student at your presentation today at Harvard-Westlake, and I just wanted to thank you so much for sharing your story. This year I began working with a program whose goal is to reduce stigma around sexual violence in teens and to promote the discussion of these topics in our lives. Although I have had education and training in this topic, I have had trouble finding ways to connect peers to this issue’s discussion.
Hearing your story gave shed a new, yet needed light on this topic. I walked out of your presentation truly changed by your words, and I cannot tell you how many of my peers agreed. I have truly never seen a time when every student was engaged in a speaker until this point. I know you probably get messages like this all the time, but I just wanted to thank you for your time, and your story. You truly are the best speaker I have ever heard, and I can tell you right now, your words and story helped a few hundred minds truly think about an important social issue in our society, so to that I truly thank you.”
“In speaking/debriefing your presentation with my seniors today, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Your message was inspiring and many expressed how deeply moved and empowered they now felt in preventing sexual violence. Your objectives were highlighted in our discussion and students felt the relevance in their lives. Additionally, they all recognized and admired your strength in sharing. I wholeheartedly believe that our students are now better prepared to navigate “red flag” situations, support survivors, and make a difference in the community.
Thank you for your courage and commitment to this vital cause. Your work makes a significant difference, and we are honored to have had the opportunity to learn from you.”
