"I was going to skip the assembly so I could get high,
but I was caught and a teacher took me to the auditorium to
watch you... Your message probably saved my life. I was
very deep into drugs, so deep that I didn't think I'd ever
make it out of my hole. I didn't even expect to make it
out of high school. But, after I watched your show, I
realized that I was wasting my life and my potential... I want
you to know that you changed my life and that you made a
difference in one girl's life."
Jennifer, from an undisclosed area
"I can't convey to you how deeply profound and meaningful I found your
performance... you are so
inspiring and incredibly moving... Thank you so much - you don't know what you have done for me."
Tiffany, from Napa, CA
"Sir - Thank you for saving my life. Last week I decided
that I was worth nil. In a couple days I was going to kill
myself. Today you made me laugh for the 1st time in weeks
and I think I'll get help. You don't realize."
[A
note handed to Cary by a young lady after a high school assembly in
Monterey, CA]
"It totally opened my eyes
and made me realize how precious
my
life as a teen is. I've experimented with marijuana before; but,
after your last
performance it made me think. I finally came to the
conclusion that I wouldn't
do any drugs again. The "Gift of Life" touched me on a personal
level, and made
me realize that I want to stay young as long as I can;
and, that doing
drugs is
not a good way to do so. I just wanted to say
thank you for your aide,
and that
I will NEVER forget today's performance. Again, you have
touched my heart and I want to
let you know that you have
saved
my life, and my adolescence. You are a true saint
and no one will
ever be able to replace what you have done for me today."
Michelle, from Woodcreek, CA
"Cary, I don't think
that you realize the full impact of how you
affected me... I can't even tell
you enough how much you have touched my heart so deeply..."
