St Aloysius College

“Yesterday (21/03/2023) you came to my school to give a motivational talk and I just wanted to thank you again. I’ve always payed attention to school speeches and talks, but I have never really truly felt that anyone was passionate about what they were saying, or actually wanted to make a difference in our lives. Your speech yesterday was the first time in my entire life that I have actually been moved by something someone has said, and even though you weren’t talking directly to me I found myself connecting to everything you said. Recently I have been struggling with my own mental health. I have felt like I’m trapped in this constant state of listlessness, and felt like I had lost all of my motivation. I found myself not wanting to go to my acting or dancing classes, and even not wanting to go to school or see my friends. Your talk yesterday connected to something deep within me, and helped me realise that what I’m feeling shouldn’t define me or stop me from being the best version of myself. Thank you again for being such a life changing inspiration in my life”
