Biography

Aric Bostick, one of the nation's top motivational speakers and success trainers, has the keen ability to inspire teens and adults from all walks of life. Aric encourages teens to believe in themselves and teaches them how to set goals and follow their dreams. He educates parents and teachers in how to connect with and model this message to young people in their lives. Aric travels to all corners of the United States, sharing the tools needed to live a fulfilling, successful life. Aric believes every student can achieve his or her goals, if given the motivation and right tools necessary to do so.Why did Aric become a motivational speaker?1. To challenge students to dig deep, giving them the hope and ability to change their lives, as did the coach who inspired him when he was a teen.2. To inspire teachers to make a difference with each and every student.3. To help parents become models of success and happiness for their children.Aric's Story:Aric is proof that setting goals and striving to live out your dream is possible even under the most difficult circumstances. From personal experience, he understands that many students and teens don't have the "perfect" home life. Divorce, emotional neglect, instability and verbal or physical abuse can certainly create a sense of self-doubt and hamper one's ability to achieve in school and in life. Aric faced some of these very same circumstances as a teen, but rather than surrender, he decided to harness his energy to do something positive for himself to change things in his own life.That's why, in high school, Aric decided to leave his mother's home in Houston and move back to San Antonio with his father. But Aric knew he needed more, and he determined to make a change not only in where he lived, but also in how he lived his life. Aric began accompanying his father, a recovered alcoholic, to assemblies where he listened to inspirational speakers and participated in deep therapeutic sessions. These experiences taught Aric how to take personal responsibility for his own thoughts, behavior and, ultimately, achievements in life.Aric began his quest by going to college and becoming a teacher at San Antonio's Judson High School. He recognized that his students were looking for someone to help guide them and inspire them, just as he had when he was a teen. It became Aric's mission to help his students overcome their own personal stories-- the stories that were holding each of them back. Aric started by launching an after school program called the Goal Setters Club. He quickly saw how powerful this experience was and what a difference it made in students' lives, thus, he knew he needed to reach as many students as possible. Aric's career as a motivational speaker was born.In the past decade, Aric has spoken to over half a million students across the United States on how to be true to themselves by living their own dreams--not someone else's. Aric teaches actionable lessons on how to succeed at the game of life by making good choices, staying in school, and being a role model for others, helping others to see their own potential.Aric's presentations and workshop training for parents and teachers are equally as powerful; firing them up to make a difference in young people's lives, showing them what it takes to be a great parent and teacher, and sharing with them the communication and motivation tools he's found to benefit students.Aric's all-encompassing assemblies, team building, and motivational messages are empowering and infectious!

Student Assembly HOW TO BE AWESOME4LIFE!!!

I believe everyone wants to have an AWESOME life. But many have no idea the essential steps to make that happen. We become a victim of our circumstances and fail to take responsibility for our actions toward our true hearts desire. I come from a broken home, a family of alcoholism, neglect and abuse. I am the first person in my family to graduate from college and overcoming these challenges was extremely difficult. But with the help of many educators and mentors I was able to let go of past, overcome my challenges, and become inspired to go to college and become an educator. Now I am a motivational speaker, and focus my attention daily on my goals and finally empower others to do the same in their own life. Life can be difficult at best and nothing worth having comes easy. But we all really can be AWESOME4LIFE!!
