“With gentle humor and great ideas, you moved most, if not all, of us to take a deeper look into our hearts to assess our dreams and goals.”
“We were very fortunate to have Nick D’Agostino present to our students during the Week of Respect. His experiences and what he has accomplished thus far in his life provided meaningful lessons to our students on respect and perseverance. I particularly love his message of recognizing the “gravity,” things that hold you down in your life, and using those things as motivation to rise above, rather than as excuses for defeat. His motto of “Think Longer – Love Stronger” has value to any audience.””
