Within the first five minutes, I was amazed to watch Patrick Reynolds create an extraordinary
bond with our school's culturally diverse and economically underprivileged teens," said Hali
Rosen, a teacher at Hawthorne (CA) High.

2. After his opening story about his own father's absence, and the sadness and anger he felt as a
youth because of it, he asked the students, 'How many of you do not have your biological fathers
living at home with you?' When over 50% of the audience slowly raised their hands, our students
seemed to realize that these shared emotions cross all economic and social borders -- and a bond
was formed. After that, the students listened quietly and respectfully, and I could see real interest
in their faces, as they related to his overheads and the moving stories he told, so very effectively
and skillfully."
