High School and Middle School Students
- From a letter written by Three High School Students
“The students at my school appreciate your presentation. You are an inspiration to those who
are having trouble understanding that school makes a big difference in our future. Sometime in
the future we will take what you had told us into mind and make our decisions based on it. Even
though some of us don’t know it now, you are a role model to us all. We enjoyed your speech on
how you were told you were nothing and you became so much. Thank you for your speech and time.”
- From a letter written by a 6th grader
“Thanks for coming to my school. We all enjoyed it very much. We enjoyed hearing your
story. It inspired us to be what we want to be when we grow up. It showed us that even though
we make wrong decisions, we can fix them. I hope that maybe someday you can come to our class
and give us another inspiring speech. The thing that I liked most about your speech was how
hilarious it was. You showed us how to work hard but also made it fun for us. This was the best
assembly that we had so far all year.”
- From a letter written by a Middle School Student
“You are the best speaker we have ever had at our school. You had me laughing, but at the same
time I learned a lot. I hope to hear you speak again. Thank you.”
- From a letter written by a Middle School Student
“Your talk really inspired me to stay and study hard in school, to be successful like you. Your
parents, well they sounded a lot like mine, they want you to be successful in life. You are a great
role model for the community. One day I want to be like you in the near future. I also wanted to
thank you for talking and sharing your life with our school.”
Testimonials from Community Clients:
- Norman Bristol Colon, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Governor’s Advisory Commission on Latino Affairs
“A message of empowerment, encouragement and motivation that must be heard by young Latinos all across our
nation. Simply, the best.”
- Maria Alejandra Socorro, Coordinator of After-school Program and Summer Learning Programs, ACLAMO
“You’re an Inspirer. Being a Latino you are able to make Latinos see themselves reflected in your
stories. Sometimes they simply don’t know where or how to start. I wish all Latino students and parents
could have the opportunity to listen to you, because you are a model and represent the hope and faith
they need to believe in.”
