I loved your assembly, Paul. I was one of those kids who didn't really listen to my parents, and listening to your speech inspired me to help my parents! Thanks!

I was one of the students who stayed after with you for an extra hour. I know I didn't say much, I just like to listen and learn. You did a great job and I hope to see you next year.

Being one of the kids at the assembly, I must say that having the opportunity to sit and listen to your speech was priceless. I didn't get the chance to shake your hand and formally meet you, but you've really inspired me, Mr. Vitale, and I thank you for that.

Hey Mr. Vitale! Just today, you came to Huntsville High and gave one of your speeches. Most of the time, I just sit back and sleep, but you actually gave me things that were interesting and that I could use everyday. You did a great job and of all the places you could visit, I am happy that you came here. You never bored me for a second. You were always there and in the moment. You have that energy that most speakers don't have. I just want to thank you and say that you made a difference for everyone in that auditorium. Thank you for doing this!!!

Hey Paul, it’s me Miranda. You came to my table and talked to me and all of my friends at lunch today at Greene County Tech High School. I just wanted to say that you did an awesome job talking to all of us today and I learned a few new things. I am also going to put some of the things you said into use, like when people say you can’t do something...that you can do anything you put your mind to, and to let your haters be your motivators... I want to get one your books, would I be able to order one of them?

Mr. Vitale,
Thank you so much for taking the time to come to our school. Whenever you come, we can feel the energy. Your presence influences so many others. You have helped me become a much happier person and I've learned how to take criticism from others after listening to you. I look forward to possibly seeing you again next year!

During the breakout session that I attended you taught me so much in such a short time. The main thing I learned was to be proactive rather than reactive. This mindset has already helped me greatly in my job and with my family. All in all, I would like to thank you for your time and for all that you have done for my classmates and me!

Ever since you visited our school the club leaders have gotten busy. They took what you said and applied it to real life. I honestly believe your presence aided us in places that needed it. For me the focus segment was valuable because I have a hard time staying on task. So for that I thank you!

I would like to sincerely thank you for sharing your time with our school. You've provided us with key leadership skills and the knowledge of how to deal with life's struggles. These skills will be helpful to me in the future and I am constantly reminded of your words when I am having a bad day. Thank you so much!

By speaking about your life experiences and interacting with us, you were able to inspire some of the students to be better people. We spoke to you about real life issues. I learned qualities of being a leader. The things I learned will help me to be a better person and leader.

Dear Paul,
Thank you so much for the breakout sessions after our assembly last month. The ideas you presented and the advice you gave us are very helpful for us as the leaders of our student body. The breakout session has helped me realize the importance of compromise among the members of a group. Thanks again for such a great experience!

Dear Mr. Vitale,
You opened my eyes to many new things. Since you came, I have learned how to be a better leader. I know now that I can succeed in anything I choose to do. I am constantly trying to surround myself with good, positive people to make sure that I do succeed. I am trying my hardest to make an influence in other people's lives. The things that you taught us will always be remembered!
