Educators
Thank you so much for presenting at the Youth for Youth Conference. You were outstanding! You had a great mix of humor and reality and seemed to really connect with both students and educators. I really appreciate one of the comments from a student: "Aric made me excited to be me!"
Tammy Brothers, Program Director

Aric’s “Making a Difference” staff development training was fresh, uplifting, and full of ideas. He shared motivational techniques to rejuvenate even your most reluctant staff members. In thirty years in education, this as one of the best presentations for teachers I have ever been a part of. Aric will make a difference in the attitudes of your staff.

The Staff Development program you did was FANTASTIC! Our staff was not only entertained, but enlightened as well. I've heard nothing but great comments from everyone and some have already mentioned that they've emailed you themselves to tell you how much they appreciated it. You were awesome and I needed to hear what you had to say!

Hi. This is Vicki Long from St. Mary Catholic School in Orange, Texas.
I just wanted to say that our students who attended the District 17
TASC Fall Convention have not stopped talking about you since they
saw you in Beaumont. I wanted to tell you what the kids in Algebra did the day after coming back from the convention. The Algebra teacher was up in front of the class giving out the dreaded Algebra homework and when she finished all of the students who had attended the convention jumped out of their seats and did what they are calling the "Aric" yell. The teacher almost had heart failure over them showing excitement about homework. I just wanted to say thank you again for touching the hearts of everyone who was present at the Civic Center that day. You are truly a gift from God sharing a message that all youth should hear.

Wow... what an amazing three and a half days...I am still so overwhelmed! My students and I learned so much from your camp, and learned more
about each other...a fantastic feeling! You took time out of your extremely busy camp schedule to share special time with me and several of my students. I know it isn't easy to give that one-on-one time...so, thank you again...you made a connection.

Aric,
Just wanted you to know that we REALLY appreciated you speaking to us
on Monday & Tuesday. It is so nice to see changes going on at
school---rooms in circles, more helping, high-fiving, etc. I even
have organized my desk---looks professional!

Aric,
I just wanted to let you know how great you were yesterday. I have
never seen someone as motivated and enthusiastic as you are. Whoever
nicknamed you "Mr. Enthusiasm" was right on target. Keep up the great
work. If you ever need help on any of your future endeavors please do
not hesitate to ask, I would love to be a part of a team in motivating
our future generation of kids. Thanks for the inspiration.

Aric: Students from so many of the schools are still talking about
what a great job that you did at our conference. Many of the
teachers are talking about it as well, so much that I am getting
teachers contacting me for information about you.

I just wanted to thank you so much for everything you have
told us. You have taught me so much and you make me look forward to my life. You've filled me with energy and have taught me that no matter what problems I go through, my life will go on and I just have to live happy and look forward to everyday. Life is too short to waste. So once again thank you, you've changed my life drastically and I've come back home with a lot more knowledge and a different aspect of life.

I have never been around so many positive people before it was an "out of this world" experience. I have never been able to have that much fun unless it involved basketball or doing things that I'm used to! Usually I am the laid back, shy type of person and in the classroom I was a class clown because all I was in school for was to pass my classes and play basketball. an Now I can go to school to help people out as well as at home and everywhere I go.

Some of us had your “Woo!!!” even after you left.

Aric has inspired me in so many ways to be a better person and has made a GREAT impact on my life. I would love to be able to contact you a few years down the line to show you how the seed you planted has grown into success!

Hey Aric,
My name is Jeff Martinez, and I go to Harlandale Middle School in San Antonio, TX. I was at the convention when you were at Macedonia Baptist church. You were awesome, you really improved the way my friends and I thought about stuff. N-E-Ways. You were so cool. Especially Superman.

Aric, You spoke to me and my classmates yesterday at Little Cypress- Mauriceville High School, I just wanted to thank you so much for coming to talk to us, I know that it's what you do for a living, but when you speak it's obvious that it is really your passion. All day yesterday after you left and even today at school, I heard people talking about how great you were, how funny you were, or how much you really made them think. Without being too serious you seem to get it through peoples heads. It truly amazed me the amount of people you got involved, people who are usually "to cool for school" were even involved. I don't think that any one else could have done that, and truly gotten into their heads. I'm really glad you came to talk to us. Your an amazing speaker, and so talented at what you do. You touched me and many of my classmates.
I listened to your CD and I loved it, I let my mom borrow it, I just knew she would love it, and she did. Thank you so much.
