Resilience, Big Dreams & a Whole Lot of Heart | State #28 with Top Youth Speaker Eddie Cortés
If there’s one thing I’ve learned on this journey, it’s that resilience and dreaming BIG go hand in hand. This past week, I had the privilege of bringing the I’M POSSIBLE school assembly program to Lovelock Elementary School and Pershing County Middle School in Nevada—making it the 28th state I’ve spoken in!
But this wasn’t just another stop on the tour. This visit was made possible by an incredible group of students.
Mustang Youth Team: When Students Lead the Way
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.
Think about that. STUDENTS made this happen. They believed in something bigger than themselves and took action to create change. That’s leadership. That’s resilience. That’s the I’M POSSIBLE mindset in action.
Worthy of BIG Dreams
A major theme of this week’s assemblies? You are WORTHY of dreaming BIG. Too often, students (and even adults) believe their dreams are out of reach—that they don’t deserve to chase something great. But here’s what I told them:
Your potential is GREATER than anyone’s opinion of you.
Your potential is GREATER than your limitations.
Don’t let what you CAN’T do interfere with what you CAN do.
You are FULL of possibilities. You are POSSIBLE.
And man… these students got it.
Impact That Sticks
From the moment I stepped on stage, I could feel the energy. The students at Lovelock Elementary and Pershing County Middle were engaged, excited, and ready to embrace the message. And the feedback? Absolutely humbling.
Frontier Community Coalition shared:
“We’re full of possibilities. Had a great time listening to Eddie Cortés today! Thank you for inspiring our students and reminding us that we are worthy of BIG dreams!”
Principal William added:
“Eddie, thank you for sharing your message and experience with our students here in Lovelock, NV. I have heard great feedback today from staff and students.”
Hearing these words and knowing the message landed? That’s what keeps me going.
Thank You, Lovelock!
Huge shoutout to:
Principal William (Lovelock Elementary)
Principal Shea (Pershing County Middle)
Tina & the entire Frontier Community Coalition
The Mustang Youth Team for being true difference-makers
And of course, to every student, teacher, and tech team who made this week unforgettable.
Keep Dreaming Big
Nevada, you left a mark on my heart. I hope every student walked away knowing that no matter where they come from, no matter their past or struggles, THEY are worthy of chasing their biggest, wildest dreams.
On to the next state, but this one? This one will stay with me.
Remember: YOU are worthy of big dreams!
