It was great to see all you year 9 students from St. Richard's today. I hope you found what both Nathan and Kim talked about to be worthwhile. You have many decisions to make in your lives, take the positive path and give forgiveness a chance to work.

We are sorry that you did not have enough time to ask questions. Please take a minute and ask them here. We would love to hear what you are experiencing and thinking. All the very best for the summer holidays!

Many thanks to all you from the 6th form that came to listen to Glenn and Nathan today in the Library. Many very important points were raised and you heard some emotive stories. We would love to hear from you if you have any thoughts or questions. Be safe and have a good weekend.

I didn't get time to leave a comment yesterday, but i promised myself i would do this. So here's my comment. I think the assembly was beautiful and inspirational in the weirdest way possible. I think that more positive things came out of these unfortunate events. I'm sure many young people including myself gained a lot from this assembly. More than just a story, we we're able to learn about the hardships you guys overcame, and the manner you did it in. We respect you guys a lot. Thanks :)

It was good to meet the Pent Valley College community this morning. Each one of you has something important to contribute. As Nathan commented, every person has a responsibility to make a positive impact on those around you. Hopefully all of you were encouraged and inspired by the talks today, and we’d love to hear from any of you what thoughts you had regarding the stories Kim and Nathan told you.

Feel free to leave your comment here either with your name or anonymously if you prefer. Best wishes, the Breaking the Cycle Team.

It was great to be back at Bexhill today, thanks for the warm reception. We would love to hear your thoughts on what Kim or Nathan spoke to you about.

As Nathan said "to get 100% out of life you need to put 100% into it" Take care and have a safe and happy weekend.

A lot of good things were said this morning by Glenn like “you get out of life what you put into it”, and Kim’s Statement regarding taking responsibility for your own life and your own choices instead of blaming other people or difficult circumstances, hopefully you year 9s were encouraged to make your life count for something positive.

We’d love to hear back from any of you. If you leave a question here Glenn or Kim will get back to you on it.

Glenn Fielder from Breaking the Cycle said:

Hi neil, thankyou for taking the time and sharing your feelings with us on what you heard today. What happened to me was very unfortunate and extremeley traumatic when it first happened, and in the early years after my injury. Life has moved on for me,as i have now come to terms with my dissabilities.I had to learn a lot of lifes lessons, in a short space of time.It taught me to appreciate, that the best things in life are free,we allready have them at our feet and do not realise it. No money in the world can buy your health, your love of life,and real happiness. Remember Neil to allways take the positive path in life and it will open up many doorways as it did for me. kind regards glenn fielder
