Summary:

I chose this motivational speech by Steve Harvey because he makes many good points that have actually switched my mindset. Most times we are quick to blame and think that we are the only ones that are going through tough times. Instead of thinking “why me” I now say “It is what it is” because sometimes things happen for the better. I like to think that things change for the better and that better things are waiting for me after the storm. I enjoy listening to motivational videos because I find them effective/ encouraging and help motivate people with negative thoughts. Lastly, we can learn from others’ experiences and be encouraged to get through our struggles by knowing that someone else achieved to get through their bad days that they thought would never pass.

Hello my name is Taniya Ziya and this video motivates me because of its message. I used to like working alone because I was able to get the job done easily and I wasn’t relying on someone else to finish the work required. Or if I was assigned to a group, I would do all the work because I knew we would get a good grade if I did the work. However, this video made me realize how important teamwork is because if everyone is included, the job easily gets done and no one is left behind as we saw at the end. So, this video motivates me to participate more in group work because if everyone works together, the job will be successfully done and no one will be left behind.

Hello, my name is Rachel Strohm and I included a motivational video. I chose this specific one because one of my teachers in high school used to always play ‘motivational Monday’ clips every week. When our assignment was to include a motivational clip, I immediately thought of what was shown to me years ago. The one I included is one that was shown to me In high school. I hope that others find this clip useful and motivational as well.

Hi My name is Jacob Cazares and I chose the video Rise and Fight by Military Corner. A simple 3 minute video was all it took for me to start taking my life more seriously senior year of highschool. I already had decent grades to get me into college but that was not my initial thought. I learned that in order to become an officer in the military you needed some kind of college education so that is where I started. With this video I started training to become the most disciplined person I know and fight my way through hardships. This was the video that started me on my path.
