BIG Dreams and BIG Tests Require BIG Resilience in Elsa, TX with Youth Motivational Speaker Eddie Cortés
Every time I step onto a school stage, I see students full of potential—some confident, some hesitant, but all with something deep inside waiting to be unlocked. This week, that stage was in Elsa, TX, at Lyndon B. Johnson Elementary, where I had the incredible opportunity to speak as part of my “I’m Possible” school assembly program. And let me tell you—these students showed up ready to embrace resilience, push through hard things, and take on their upcoming STAAR state exams like champions.

Resilience and Big Dreams in Lovelock, NV with Top Youth Speaker Eddie Cortés
One of the highlights of this stop? The Mustang Youth Team (MYT)—a powerhouse group of middle and high school students making a difference in their community. Organized and led by Frontier Community Coalition, these young leaders work tirelessly on substance misuse prevention, mental health awareness, and leadership development. And guess what? They gathered the funding to bring me to their schools.

Some moments stick with you.
Like standing in the middle of Ross A. Lurgio Middle School after my I’m Possible assembly, surrounded by students high-fiving, fist-bumping, and even asking for autographs. Their excitement was contagious. Their gratitude? Heartwarming.
“Eddie, you inspired me today!” I heard it over and over.

When Grace Meets Our Weakness: A Powerful Day in Milwaukee, WI with Top Youth Speaker Eddie Cortés
Some days hit differently. Today was one of those days.
I had the absolute privilege of speaking at the National Lutheran Schools Spirit Day in Milwaukee, WI, sharing a message that is deeply personal to me—one rooted in faith, hope, and the unshakable truth of God’s grace. With 800 K-12th grade students gathered, I shared 2 Corinthians 12:9:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
