On Tuesday 23rd March, a famous international motivational speaker, Action Jackson addressed hundreds of students at Sir George Monoux College in an inspirational and interactive seminar, encouraging students to maximise their potential and to secure their success.
Addressing the students in his Fix-Up Seminar, Action Jackson, said "If you want to live your dreams then you must focus your energy, time and set yourself clear goals in life. Great thinking leads to great feelings, which in turn inspires you to live a great life". With ‘Pay Now, Play Later’ being the prominent theme throughout the session, Action Jackson combined humour, anecdotes, inspirational music and powerful phrases to demonstrate to students what it means to take charge of their lives and their futures.
Kim Clifford, Principal of Sir George Monoux College, said "Supporting our students throughout their time at Sir George Monoux College is essential in order to equip them with the best opportunities for success. This event comes as part of our Study Plus Centre’s proactive and on-going campaign designed to motivate and prepare our students in the run up to their summer examinations". The College’s Enrichment Programme and Study Plus Centre focuses its energy on encouraging students to regularly attend revision workshops. It also promotes the critical use of revision tools, techniques and guides, as well as coaching students on combating stress. We have also been running relaxation classes as part of the Enrichment Programme.".
A Level Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics, student, Abdinasar Ali, who attended the seminar said "Action Jackson reinforced in me that there is no reason or obstacle that restricts me from following my vision. Everything I need to succeed is right here. All I need to do is focus, so that I can achieve more in life."
