“I’m impacted by the subjects you discussed in your [No Apologies] seminar, especially the one about a “second virginity.” In my case, I have a 3-year-old daughter. As a result of a one-night stand, I ruined my dream of becoming a doctor. I’m finishing high school, but then I should work because my boyfriend left me when he learned I was pregnant. I don’t want the same thing to happen to the friends I hang out with. Thank you for coming and telling me that everything isn’t lost and that God can forgive me.”

“I don’t have the right to give my opinion because I’ve slept with all of my boyfriends, but if I can say anything, it’s that it’s just not worth it. In the end, I realize that I’ve been used as a sexual object. In your [No Apologies] seminar today, I learned that there’s more to being a person than just sex. I’m going to ask God to forgive me and begin a new life. Thank you for coming to my school.”

“I only want to say one thing. Thank you. Thank you for caring about us today. We live in a confusing time. On the one hand, our school tells us that we need to protect ourselves, but on the other hand, our society provides us with opportunities to have sex without problems saying that “everyone is doing it.” Today I learned to value other things in life. At the very least, I’m going to wait until marriage [to have sex].”

“I committed a grave sin two years ago…I had sex with my sister. Since then, we’ve almost ceased speaking to each other because of our shame. Today during the [No Apologies] seminar, we were able to see that God offers us forgiveness and a second chance. Thank you for helping me restore my dignity and the power to look at my sister face to face and say, “Forgive me, I didn’t know what I was doing.”

“[The seminar] was very special to me because it spoke to my situation. I’ve been having sex since I was 14 years old, most of the time with adults. I’ve had 2 abortions. I’ve never had sex for money, though I’ve enjoyed receiving gifts and special meals out [for having sex]. Months ago, I thought mistakenly thought I was pregnant again, and this worry motivated me to reflect on what I’ve done with my life. Today, I decided to accept the challenge, make an abstinence pact and receive Christ, with the hope that my life will change directions.”
