“I just was at the speech that was held at 1:00p.m. on October 22, 2008 at Claflin University, and I wanted to let you know that yes I was one of the students that was eyeing your Gucci bag and thinking “This man got money” but I really just wanted you to know that you touched me and did not turn me away. Since listening to your speech on empowerment I decided that I am going to reevaluate myself seriously. I was debating dropping a class that I was taking but now I’m going to stay in my class b/c of what you said today. I can say that I will not give up and I will go on. Thank you so much for coming and talking to the School of Business.”

“I would like for you to know how inspired I was by your presentation. You were on point and very informative about our children. We need to raise the bar on how we raise or should I say how we are raising our children… Things will never change if we continue to sit back and do nothing.”

“Thank you for being here on Monday and telling it like it is! Now the true test is observing how many will implement “Capturing” the minds and hearts of these young people by meeting them where they are in life.“Inspire” them to continue to pursue their goals and dreams by providing meaningful and engaging lesson the will keep them hungry for knowledge. But most of all “Teach” them that failure does not last always, but use it as a tool to conquer their mishaps and mistake that will help them to become productive citizens in society.”

“My name is Tiffany Hampton and I got the opportunity to hear you and meet you personally at our Buy Back Day in Fontana at Summit HS. It was awesome listening to you speak about your educational career and how fundamental teachers can really be in a child’s life. I am already inspired to do so much with kids, but your conversation with us made it seem so much more possible to make a difference in the lives of children (positive and negative).”

“Thank you Mr. Peters for “being real”. What a profound message. Yes, I’m inspired to make it happen for the students who have been entrusted Into my care.
May God Richly bless you and your family.”

“I enjoyed Mr. Peters presentation very much.  I found him to be very inspiring,
humorous, and captivating.  He kept my attention fully throughout the morning.
I could not agree more with everything he had to say.  I actually found myself
wishing it wouldn’t end.”

“The teachers enjoyed and benefited from your presentation and I know the
superintendents were engaged and very appreciative of your presentation.”

“Our Back to School Workshops was a Huge Success!!  The group absolutely loved Stephen Peters.  They also want him back!!
