Goodnight Middle School students received a positive and inspiring message from nationally renowned motivational speaker Juan Cangas.
Cangas spoke to Goodnight sixth and seventh graders on Tuesday, March 21. He shared his life story, telling everyone about his failures and successes and how the students could learn from him.
“A lot of people call me a motivational speaker, but honestly, when I think about what I do, I don’t really try to go out and motivate because motivation comes from the outside,” Cangas said. “What I’m going to try and do today, and more than anything else, is inspire you because inspiration comes from the inside. Right? And really, what I see myself doing is I go around the country and I don’t really talk, I just have real conversations with people. Honest conversations about what they want to do with their future. Honest conversations about what their dreams are. Honest conversations about the obstacles and the challenges that they’re facing.”
