"Thank your for visiting Central High School today. It was AWESOME!!! You did a fantastic job. I have never seen high school students so "engrossed" in a presentation. You definitely made an impact on our high school…I had at least 10 students come up to me as they were leaving school and thank me for having you speak. They told me they loved everything you said and could not wait to get to the library to check out your book. I want to thank you as a principal for the impact you have on young kids (and adults). You definitely make a difference. I look forward to having you back in the future to help me even more."

David Flowers, Principal
