G-Man's Impact To The Community
From Rayshawn, Githens Middle School
G-man was a great influence to me and hopefully all of the eighth grade. He spoke to us in an angry way but he wasn’t mad at all he made sure his words were remembered by everyone who heard it. There are many people who live like G-man used to but none of them could recover like him.
From Yesenia, Githens Middle School
I think he’s a very cool man coming to my school and telling us about life. His words really touch me I felt like I could do something in life, tears came down my cheeks when he told us that I can be someone in life. and now I’m going do my best on everything. I’m going to feel proud when I try doing something and even though I don’t reach my goal I’m still gonna be proud cause I know that I tried. I told my mom about G-man and how we don’t talk as much as we are supposed to talk and now me and my mom are like best friends I finally know that I can count on her with everything all thanks so G-man so I thank him so much.
From Makia, Githens Middle School
I thought G-Man was cool and real, because I don't know anybody that will come to a school and talk the way he talked to us and didn't sugar coat it at all. I loved G-man’s story. His story spoke to me and it was like a story I would relate some people to. It changed the 8th grade and the school in so many ways. I think he made the 8Th grade a better 8Th grade and showed them that life is hard. G-Man is somebody that takes credit for his mistakes and is not scared to tell nobody he story. I look up to G-Man in so many ways.
From Chris, Githens Middle School
Well to me Mr. G-man was a great speaker. He had a lot of wisdom and he kept it real. He also gave us positive feedback on the real world and how life is. I thank him for the information that he gave out because it can be useful for me in the real world.
From Christian, Githens Middle School
The G-Man is crazy awesome! He taught me good stuff but at the same time I was being entertained by how he spoke. He keeps you listening. Something lots of teachers can’t really do. I would definitely like to listen to him speak in high school!
From Robert, Githens Middle School
I really liked what you did for me and my school. There was finally a project that I could relate to and to see a black person overcome obstacles like that is like becomming President of the United States. I was just writing you to tell you thank you very much.
From Jordan, Githens Middle School
Dear Mr. Gman,
It was a pleasure listening to your stories at our school. It helped me understand that every little choice I make can change my life. It also helped me understand that I need to be responsible for every single one of my actions, and I can't blame anyone for my problems but myself.

From Ramir & Jamie, Githens Middle School
Thanks for talking to us because it helped us alot with what we have to go through in our lives. From you coming to Githens Middle School it helped me (Ramir) and Jamie how we can do things in life and don't let anyone get in our way of you doing what ever you want to do. Now we know not to be a drug addict or alcoholic and to get our education because thats your key and your heart keeps moving like you said when you showed us your report card.
