I’M POSSIBLE: BUILDING RESILIENT STUDENTS WHO CHASE THEIR DREAMS
BY EDDIE CORTES
Are you ready to help your students achieve the impossible? In his book, “I’m Possible”, a kids book about resilience, Eddie Cortes provides a roadmap for helping students become resilient problem-solvers and dream-chasers.
“Eddie Cortes is a dynamic speaker, connects to the students, and they relate to him. The students were engaged the whole hour! We would welcome him back anytime.”
Reimagining the Impossible at Pleasant Grove Elementary School with Motivational Youth Speaker Eddie Cortes
Picture this: A young student stands before me, eyes brimming with determination yet clouded with doubt. His dream of becoming a pilot seems like an impossible feat, overshadowed by a seemingly insurmountable obstacle—color blindness. As he shares his dream, I sense the weight of uncertainty in his words.
But in the world of dreams, there are no limits—only possibilities waiting to be explored. I share with him the story of Rob Mendez, a man born with a rare congenital disorder, tetra-amelia syndrome, which left him without arms and legs. Despite his physical limitations, Rob pursued his passion for football, reimagining his dream from player to coach.
Rob’s story resonates deeply with the student, sparking a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He realizes that while obstacles may seem daunting, they are not insurmountable barriers but rather opportunities for creative solutions. With newfound determination, he thanks me and walks away, ready to reimagine his dream and make the impossible possible.
Empowering Dreams: The IM.POSSIBLE Elementary School Assembly
At Pleasant Grove Elementary School, I had the privilege of sharing the IM.POSSIBLE Elementary School Assembly—an electrifying experience aimed at empowering students to build resilience and chase their dreams. Through a blend of humor, captivating stories, and interactive activities, I ignited a spark of inspiration in each young mind.
During the assembly, I emphasized the importance of resilience—the ability to bounce back from setbacks and pursue dreams with unwavering determination. I reminded students that their potential knows no bounds, transcending any limitations they may face.
Through thought-provoking anecdotes and engaging discussions, I encouraged students to embrace failure as a stepping stone to success. By cultivating resilience, they not only develop a positive self-worth but also unlock their full potential to achieve academic excellence and pursue their aspirations with confidence.
Championing Resilience
As a motivational youth speaker, my mission is simple yet profound: to empower students to overcome obstacles, defy limitations, and reach for the stars. With the IM.POSSIBLE Elementary School Assembly, I equip young minds with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and determination.
Through my interactive presentations, I instill in students the belief that they are capable of achieving greatness—no dream is too big, no hurdle too high. By fostering a culture of resilience and self-belief, I aim to inspire a generation of confident, empowered individuals ready to embrace the limitless possibilities of their futures.
Join me on this transformative journey as we empower students to dream big, chase their passions, and make the impossible possible. Together, we can unlock the full potential of every young mind and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow.
Gratitude to Pleasant Grove Elementary School and Principal Wood
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Principal Deidra Wood for the invitation and warm welcome. Your dedication at Pleasant Grove Elementary School to foster a nurturing environment where students thrive is truly commendable. Thank you for your invaluable partnership in empowering the next generation of resilient dream chasers.
Until next time, keep dreaming big and remember—impossible is just a word. With resilience and determination, anything is possible.
