Tucker High School Hosts Motivational Speaker Chris Skinner
The community is invited to hear motivational speaker Chris Skinner speak on how he transformed his life after an accident that caused him to become a quadriplegic.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18th
7:00 p.m.
J. R. Tucker High School Auditorium
2910 N. Parham Road
Free to all members of our Henrico County Community
(a donation box will be available to support the J.R. Tucker PTSA who’s supporting this program.)
After hearing Chris’ incredible story of overcoming devastating disabilities, thousand of students and adults have been inspired to say,” Yes, I can!” Using a PowerPoint presentation of graphic images from his own personal struggle to survive and thrive, Chris shows us how much we can really do. As human beings we all possess the ability to reach deep down inside of ourselves to fulfill whatever dreams, ambitions, goals, and desires we have.
Chris delivers a profoundly motivating message. He talks about:
- The awesome privilege of life
- Making the most of one’s life
- Bringing your very best, and nothing less
- The power to chose success in your job and in your life
Chris describes his journey of returning to school after his accident with a pitiful .8 GPA, “earned” between parties. He finished his last four semesters on the Dean’s list and completed his Master’s Degree while adapting to his new life as a quadriplegic. Chris started his own successful corporation and foundation after leaving school. He is fast becoming one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the country.
Chris leaves you with this message: The Choice is Yours.
