Stephen Howard is an awesome speaker!  It can be difficult to keep the attention of our youth, but he did!  It was very inspiring to hear him talk about setting his own personal goals and then continually striving to meet those goals.  He was able to keep from been persuaded by peer pressure because of his dedication to taking care of himself and reaching his greatest potential.  It was also great for our youth to hear about the difference between “confidence” and “arrogance.”

Mr. Howard was wonderful to shake hands, answer questions, provide photo opportunities, and just interact.  I would recommend him as a speaker to anyone.
