Young people need positive experiences to help them in their personal development. In a world where negativity plagues everyday life, it is becoming even more important that we provide avenues where the young can feel motivated and inspired to change their status quo. Most any school will have students who are highly motivated, those who are occasionally motivated, and those who couldn't care less about learning, their future, and the consequences of their indifference and their actions or lack thereof.
Sometimes, all that unmotivated students and youth need is a good boost of their spirits and a positive light on all the issues that they may be facing at home, in school, and/or in their community. Increasing motivation in the youth doesn't necessarily have to mean resorting to bribery or punishment—which often only worsen their views in and of life. Moving away from such approaches and closer to more positive methods such as motivation through words and positive experiences is the youth's best chance to change their indifference.
Between drug and alcohol use, vices, cultural and racial differences, gangs and violence, lack of family values, structure, and stability, and many other issues that lead to high dropout rates, it is no wonder why a rising number of students, particularly those in urban schools are becoming unmotivated and are fast losing interest in school or worse, in life. This is where motivational programs and speakers can come to the rescue, providing a new voice and shedding a positive light on the youth's otherwise bland school experience. Motivational speakers are often people who have "been there, done that," which makes them the best people to share experiences that students can learn and take inspiration from. For your next school assembly, consider hiring an outside voice and a fresh face that your students will more likely pay attention to.
