The health department invited a number of guest speakers to come and present to the parents. Robin
Ng was more than willing to schedule her time to come give her presentation - W8NG: Because U'R
Worth It! to our concerned parents. Although all the presentations were found to be acceptable,
Robin's was considered to be superior both by parents and teachers alike. What was most remarkable
was that Robin's presentation appealed to the broadest range of parents; they loved her presentation
and felt more at ease with our decision to have her in as our sexual education guest speaker for
abstinence.
My students also enjoyed her presentation. She is engaging, dynamic and sincerely passionate about
abstinence until marriage. Robin speaks candidly and effectively about issues teens are confronted
with and are interested in discussing; topics on sexual relationships, emotional bonding, marriage and
even the dangers of pornography are discussed. My students naturally connected both with her and
her message. We were fortunate to have been able to schedule her for four, forty-five minute
presentations. Even after completion of the presentation, Robin remains accessible to the students
through e-mails. Some of my students have taken advantage of this wonderful resource. Students who
have heard about her presentation from their classmates but have not yet had sex education have
been inquiring as to when she'll be back and are looking forward to her presentation. I've scheduled
her for next semester and plan to book her for next year. Her presentation truly supports and enhances
our sexual education program at Hollis Brookline High School.
I highly recommend Robin Ng to any school or organization that wants to get the vital message of sexual
abstinence to our teens in a positive and effective way that will not soon be forgotten.

Robin Ng has been a presenter in my classroom
for several years. Robin's presentation is
always very well received by the students.
Robin uses very good judgment, relates well
with the students, and is extremely comfortable
with the subject matter -- sex, relationships,
abstinence, marriage, etc. Robin's approach is
dynamic, informative, pertinent, and very
effective. At the end of every semester, I ask
students to evaluate my health course AND all
of the guest presenters. Robin Ng is always
among the top 98% of the students' favorite
presenters. Robin's presentation is interactive
and student-centered. Students remember her
vital message of feeling valuable enough to wait
before being sexually active. As part of a new
project - "w8Ng" - I have no doubt that Robin will
continue to be successful. Please don't hesitate
to contact me if you would like to discuss
Robin's presentation in greater detail.

In our school's required Independent Living class, abstinence is an extremely important part of
my curriculum. Although this has been a passion of mine for several years, and have used a
variety of videos and curriculum materials, I did not feel I was reaching all my students. When
Robin offered to come to my school and present an abstinence program, I grabbed the
opportunity to have my students hear this message from someone else.
Robins presentation was factual, entertaining and thought provoking. Her greatest asset was
that my students felt she really cared about them. By Robin being with my students for more than
one day, she was able to establish a connection with them. In my 20 plus years in teaching, I
have never had a speaker make such a significant and powerful connection with my students.
Robin's presentation set a tone that carried over into my entire sexuality unit and allowed me to
be more effective when I dealt with sexually transmitted diseases and other topics. I am already
booking her for next year and are recommending her to my fellow teachers.

Robin is so dedicated to what she does, she
involves the students in ways that they continue
discussing the content long after the presentation is
done. Robin is very dynamic and fun. The students
respond well to a message that they are not used
to hearing. It is much easier to discuss abstinence
seriously after Robin has been to my classes."

Robin Ng has been a guest speaker in our school for the last three years. Although her
curriculum may be categorized as abstinence education, her message covers so much more:
future goals, personal worth, personal health and safety, relationship satisfaction and
happiness, and lasting marriages.
Robin uses her emotions, enthusiasm and genuine fondness of teenagers to deliver a very
entertaining, interesting, interactive and thought provoking presentation. Students are given
several opportunities to volunteer to become involved in some great activities that help
illustrate her main themes.
The past two years, Robin expanded her presentation from 90 minutes to 180 minutes (or two
full blocks). There are very few speakers that I would be willing to give up that much class time
for. Robin's presentation has been so well accepted by the students and the other health
instructors that I was happy to accommodate her expanded program. I especially appreciated
Robin’s willingness to travel to our school four times a year in order to meet with all of our
health education students.
Selfishly, I was disappointed to hear that Robin was leaving the agency that had been sending
her. Although we miss having her represent that agency, I have no doubt in my mind that she
is doing a fantastic job on her own. Without reservation, I am happy to endorse and
recommend Robin as a guest presenter and would be happy to answer any questions or
concerns that a prospective school or instructor may have.
