EDDIE’S TOUR JOURNAL
MOTIVATIONAL YOUTH SPEAKER

Inspiring Resilience as a Motivational Youth Speaker at Wilson Elementary, Plant City, FL
Kayla Forcucci – Principal
Last week, I had the privilege of being the motivational youth speaker at Wilson Elementary School. It was an incredible experience empowering approximately 300 enthusiastic elementary school students and sharing valuable insights about resilience in the pursuit of their dreams. During my presentation, there was a memorable moment that truly highlighted the impact of resilience on these young minds.
A Memorable Moment of Understanding
As I began sharing a personal story about giving up on my dream of becoming a Major League Baseball player for the New York Yankees, a student couldn’t contain their excitement and shouted, “Noooooo, you never have to give up!” It was a heartwarming moment because it demonstrated that the students had wholeheartedly grasped the message from the first part of my presentation.

Understanding Truth in the Digital Age
During the school assembly program, we delved into the significance of being mindful online consumers and contributors. It’s crucial to differentiate between what’s true, false, and mere rumors on the internet. Equipping students with the ability to critically evaluate information is essential in an era where the online landscape is often flooded with misinformation.
