Very Influential

I would like to say first of all how grateful I am that you took time out of your busy schedule as our principal to book Dwayne Peace for our school, out of every assembly I have attended, I believe that this has affected everyone the most in a beneficial way. The assembly with the whole school was very influential and I feel that alone benefited everyone who attended because I myself know the mindset change that occurred the more he continued to speak. His real-life stories that he adapted to his information made everyone hear his words and wisdom with even more attention to the consequences. In line with how beneficial the assembly was, the small groups were life changing. Not only did the small groups change the way I looked at the students and staff of our school, but it also allowed me to see a whole new side to everyone in that room. I was shocked to hear about the life stories of those in my group and how much they deal with on a daily basis in their home life or even at school. At first, I was scared for the confidentiality, I am so grateful I was able to experience this session as it changed a lot of things in my life, and I cannot imagine the affect it would have on every student. I hope everyone will be able to get this chance by the end of the year and I would love to have Dwayne Peace at our school every year. Thanks.
