MOTIVATIONAL WEBSITES

Student Motivation

The drop-out rate is high in the black community, and I often wonder why black students are not doing better. I told black students they lived in a country where everything was available for them. A girl shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't see it."  However, black students are not the only ones who are unable to see it; many students lack motivation.  They are easily discouraged and they are quick to give up.  This site contains many resources for motivating students in all education settings.  It also has valuable links and resources for educators.

Too many people, with limited vision, are quick to kill your dreams.  Don't let them! 

This is a great motivational video!  It is about  famous celebrities who got discouraging words, but they kept on going!  You'll never guess who they are.
