You really changed my life. Also because of your lessons, I made my cousin realize he can do whatever he dreams, too. Now he wants to go to college. And that’s all thanks to you. I bet you have changed many people’s lives. There are a lot of nice things I would like to say to you, but it all wouldn’t fit on one page. Thank you for everything! – Jessica, Ventura County, CA

Thank you for all you do. You can inspire anyone. Please help everyone there is in every corner of the world. – Chase, 3rd Grade, Calabasas, CA

I like you coming to our school because you make it better. I don’t really know how to say this, but you make the world a better place. Thank you for everything you have done for us! – Damaso, age 10, Oxnard, CA

I’m thanking you because you are really helping my brother and me. Now we don’t fight. I mean we used to fight A LOT! Can you visit my school more often so I can learn more? – Ledia, 4th Grade, Ventura County, CA

You should make DVDs so that kids all over the world can be inspired! – Rogelio, age 10, Oxnard, CA

I’ve always thought positive things, but when somebody hurts me in my heart, I never talk. I never sleep and I barely eat. Until I heard your story and how it ended – with a DVD to help kids. And I thought to myself, “Things will be OK.” You helped me know that. I hope that if you are ever feeling lonely, you think of all the kids you’ve helped and how much happiness you put into us. I hope that if you feel down, you think of the things you’ve said that inspired everyone to give it everything they’ve got to climb that mountain of dreams. You are fantastic and I love how you love everybody and help everybody and I think that’s better than a superhero. I think my whole class will say the same thing, but this is from my heart. Thank you. – Kyleigh, 4th Grade, Oxnard, CA

It’s me. Rocky. Now I’m going to middle school. I still have all the stuff you have given me. In one of the postcards you said to keep shining my super brightest and I have been doing that. Ever since that postcard you sent me, it helped. I don’t know how to thank you. – Rocky, age 12, Fresno, CA
