“I want to truly thank you for sharing both your career and differences. I also would like to acknowledge that your life story is very significant and touches my heart. In my opinion, your book is also intriguing. I think the illustrations will really draw the readers to reading it and real-life stories makes things even better for people to learn about others, especially your story.”

“Thank you so much for being brave and comfortable to tell us your journey. It is really amazing to see how you powered through the bullying. I also want to thank you for telling us so much about yourself, it was very kind. I think talking about suicide, bullying, and coming out are some subjects that are heavy or hard to talk about. It was really a pleasure to hear your story. Thank you for taking your time to come and see us on the zoom and I am very excited to see your new book :) have a nice day.”

“I appreciate you opening up to us and talking to us about really private to even really important things that can help us in our life. You are a great man and I strive to be like you someday. The book you are writing is going to be great since you are putting a lot of time and effort into it. I know that relating to kids can be very hard since you are much older than us but thank you for talking to us anyway I appreciate your effort and so does the whole class.”

“Thank you for having the time to come to our zoom meeting and teach us a lot/more about "PRIDE." I love the book that you are making. So far it sounds like a very good book. I learned that coming out is not a thing to be afraid of. That hiding something from everybody isn't right. And that you should express the way you feel about yourself and not be ashamed of it. I enjoyed your talk with me and my class and thank you for helping me not be afraid.”
