   "What was so amazing about your presentation was how unorthodox it was. When we hear 'drunk driving presentation' we think that a person is going to stand in front of us for a hour and try to bring us to tears, purposely or not. What was so great about your presentation was that it was nothing like that. It was funny! You made people laugh and it was as if we were fish and you had the fishing rod with the bait. Of course, when you got to the seriousness of the situation, it was not fun and games, but even when you were making a point, you found a way to express it so we felt and understood what you meant without feeling terrible. Also, what you went through, your tragedy, was not what the presentation was about in it's entirety; you also showed us how we can feel good about ourselves and how we are all worth something. You can only imagine what that means to so many people, knowing that they are appreciated and loved. I had never met you before today, and yet I felt like you cared about each and every kid in that auditorium. All of this is by no means an easy feat, and you deserve so much credit for what you do."  High School Student

"Thank you Bobby. Just a moment ago, as I was typing, I looked down at my wrist and there was the baby blue bracelet that says "The Power Of Each Decision." Every time I see it, I'll think of all you told us. It's rare that somebody can truly make an imprint on kids, especially at our age, but I think it's safe to say that you had a lasting effect on many of us. Thanks again for everything."  Roslyn, High School Student
