WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Molly had great stories, could easily get the attention of the students and was very enthusiastic! She has been one of our best speakers I have heard since I’ve been teaching (8 years).

Molly's energy, enthusiasm, wit and moral values allowed her to earn immediate respect from all our students. Her message was more than abstinence from sex and included self confidence, self respect, respect for others, as well as making wise and healthy choices. Molly Sanborn is a tremendous presenter that should be considered for any organization.

Thank you very much for speaking at New Ulm Cathedral on Monday. Our principals and I received many positive comments about your talk, and all of the feedback we received from students and teachers was positive! You talked to our students in "their language", and spoke beautifully when you hit on the key points of your presentation. I am confident lives will be better because of your talk.

This year Molly came to our school to speak the day of parent conferences. I had several parents come to conferences that evening and tell me that their child had come home that day and commented on how great Molly was at speaking. One parent told me it opened up discussions about sexuality that she had never had with her daughter. Another student came into conferences with her mother, and the first thing she said as she sat down was, “I am so glad Molly came to our school today. She really reinforced my decision to stay abstinent my only hope is for her to continue to spread that message.

I just wanted to say thank you. What you said in your talk entitled Super Model vs. Role Model, well, it hit home to say the least. I'm in 9th grade and I have an eating disorder. I am weighed at school every day and go to my psychiatrist every Thursday all afternoon. I have lost 27 pounds since it all began. But I guess I respect you and I see truth in you. So thank you for opening young girls' eyes to this so maybe we can save them from the hurt and pain of an eating disorder before it starts.
