Mind over matter. Perhaps one of the
most simplest sayings, but the most profound. This is the reason why it is
important to offer motivational assemblies for middle school students. The
right mindset, at a young age is perhaps the best way to succeed in life.
Offering students inspiration and motivational through short and interesting
pep talks can unleash the full force of the potential that is actually inherent
in every student. A few compelling reasons
to provide motivational assemblies are listed out here.
Not succumbing to peer pressure
Students may sometimes be caught up
in the midst of different influences, resulting in uncertainty, as the students
just plod along and follow peers. It is important that students understand the
need to remain individualistic. Peers are no doubt important, for socialising
and for assistance in times of emotional need. But career and important
decisions in life should never be influenced by peer pressure. This is a very
difficult concept to share with middle school students who bond a lot with
others of their age. It calls for a good motivational speaker to help students
break the stereotype and be a lot different.
Inspiration for success
Most students model their lives on
role models for some, it could be a rock star or a sporting personality and for
many the role models change with popularity and with the choices influenced by
social media. A good motivational speaker would be in a position to offer the
greatest inspiration for success to students. The ability to scythe through
problems and emerge victorious is important. Middle school students who get to
hear of inspirational accounts of individuals who have risen through challenges
will definitely look at better options than mere peer influenced options.
Relating to real life problems
Problems are a part of life. Some
students cope well, whereas others do not. For a student, the assembly may have
been preceded by a nasty situation at home or a bad score in school. This is
reason enough for different behavior or response. A good motivational speaker
can regale audiences at assemblies by recounting real life situations and how
the situations were turned on their head to turn favorable. This helps students
to relate to the situations better, and be inspired to handle difficulties
better.
