"Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Farley for stopping by my school and sharing your background story. I really look up to you and the way you got through those hurtful years. My background story is nothing like yours but I feel like a lot of kids could learn from reading your book because it influenced and inspired me to just put my mind to whatever I like and I could make it in life. From reading your book and listening to you speak I learned to keep a good mindset and don't care what anybody think of you."

"My son got to meet you yesterday at his school and you really made an impression on him. You were all he could talk about. The boy never reads but was reading your book all afternoon. After he put it down I picked it up and started reading it. I myself am not a book reader but I could not put it down, for 4 hours straight that what I did."

"Mr. Farley, Thank you so much for coming to talk to us and answering our questions. You have taught me to find something I am passionate about and put my all into it. But before that you have also taught me to find myself first and to educate myself. Sharing your story does inspire people, it inspired me."

"I just wanted you to know about the success I had teaching Life Lessons of a Throwaway Kid to our Success students. We were able to incorporate so many lessons while reading the book. Because it's a true story, so many of our non-readers were engaged in the material, and we couldn't get them to put it down."
