"Dear Mr. Duncan,

Remember me? I'm the one who won the  book when you spoke at our school, Central High School.

Your speech was tight. Earlier this week they told us that we was going to have to  listen to another speaker and all of us  were like come on, not again!

We been listening to all kinds of speakers. They was all talking about the same thing and I didn't want to sit through no long boring speech.

But as soon as we checked you out me and my friends could tell that you was kinda different.

All of us was glad you didn't stand there preaching about what we was supposed  do. For the first time ever I felt like I was  the one in control of my life and I could
do whatever I wanted to as long as I made the right choices.

...nobody fell asleep. You made it fun, and not boring and I hope my friends realize what can happen when they make the wrong choices. I was wondering why they called you the inspiration now I see why. I've never heard a speaker like you bro. Thanks and I hope you come back again."

“I liked Mr. Duncan because he kept it real. I liked his stories. Most of the time speakers make me feel like I'm getting a lecture but he was down to earth. He helped me to understand that life is all about choices and that I always have a choice. I like that because I feel like sometimes adults can't understand us. But he knows were we are coming from. I wish Mr. Duncan was my big brother."

"Dear Mr. Duncan,

Thank you so much for coming to speak to us at Youth Day!

Not only were our young people inspired, but so were the staff members in attendance.

You spoke to the youth on their level and it meant a lot to them. They were impressed by your caring and fun-loving attitude towards them. I appreciate your words of encouragement and kindness.

You are the best and most well received motivational speaker we’ve ever had. The youth expressed how much they enjoyed hearing you speak (and sing!)

Again, thank you!"
