about Aric
Aric Bostick is one of the nation's top motivational speakers and success trainers with the keen ability to inspire teens from all walks of life to believe in themselves, set goals and follow their dreams; and encourage parents and teachers how to connect and model this message for the young people in their lives. Aric travels all corners of the United States sharing with students, parents and educators the tools needed to live a fulfilling, successful life. Aric believes every student can achieve his or her goals if given the motivation and tools necessary to do so.
Why did Aric become a motivational speaker? Simple. To challenge students to dig deep. To give them hope. To change their lives just like the coach who inspired him when he was a teen.
ARIC'S STORY:
Aric is proof that setting goals and striving to live your dreams can happen no matter what your circumstances. He understands from personal experience that many students 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 can 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 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. He was determined to make a change not only in where he lived but how he lived his life. So he began accompanying his father, a recovered alcoholic, to hear inspirational speakers and participate in deep therapeutic sessions. These experiences taught Aric how to take personal responsibility for the way he thought, the way he behaved, and -ultimately- what he achieved in life.
Aric began that quest by going to college and becoming a teacher at San Antonio's Judson High School. He saw that his students needed someone to help guide them and inspire them, just as he had when he was a teen. It became his mission to help his students overcome the personal stories that were holding them back. He 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. So he decided to reach as many students as possible, and that's how his career as a motivational speaker came to be.
In the past decade, Aric has spoken to over a half million students across the United States on how to be true to themselves; to live their dreams, not someone else's. He teaches actionable lessons on how to succeed at the game of life, by making good choices, staying in school, being a role model and helping others see their own potential.
Aric's presentations and workshops for parents and teachers are just 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 work with students.
Aric's motivational messages are empowering and infectious.
