"I have to tell you that the feedback has been tremendous. The kids are still talking about you. They really enjoyed themselves and got a great message out of it. You have the highest of recommendations from me if you ever need it! "

"The comments have all been positive. I spend three hours of my day with some of the roughest kids in the school and our biggest drug users. I found out today in class that four of my students went home, broke their pipes and flushed their stash down the toilet.They have decided to get clean and stay drug free. I was so happy to hear that news. My students quote you in my classes and have talked about your presentation since you left. Thanks you so much for making a difference in our school. I plan to continue working on cleaning up the school. "

"I meet many students at Bucknell, but I come to know very few in ways that either persuade or permit me to speak so strongly on their behalf. Among Matt's important contributions, none was more noticeable or consequential than the creation of the revolutionary student social and residential organization, C.a.l.v.i.n.& H.o.b.b.e.s."

"Wow, let me just say I have never laughed so hard during a presentation. It was amazing how with so much comedy,you could still get your powerful message out there to the audience."

"Oh my gosh! You came to David E. Ownes Middle School today and we students LOVED your program. Usually as students assemblies are boring and a waste of time, but you were fantastic.We had a terrific time listening to your stories and your funny jokes and imitations. Mr. Monte, the teacher acually smiled, and he NEVER smiles. Thank you for a fantastic afternoon."
