In commemoration of Black History Month, Highfields students recently had the privilege of attending a special presentation at Wolverhampton Grammar School, featuring the renowned motivational speaker, The Right Honourable Stuart Lawrence.
Stuart Lawrence's powerful discourse centered on the theme of creating a positive impact in the world and the significance of using one's voice when given the opportunity. His message resonated deeply with the young audience, emphasising the importance of taking action to effect change.
Lawrence encouraged the students to aspire to influence at least one person each day, promoting the idea that small gestures and kind words can ripple outward to make a significant difference. He stressed the value of responding positively to requests from parents and teachers, underlining the age-old principle of treating others as they would like to be treated.
Following the presentation, students had the opportunity to purchase copies of Stuart Lawrence's books. The event was made even more special as Stuart kindly autographed each copy, offering the students a cherished memento of the day.
The Highfields students left the presentation brimming with inspiration and enthusiasm. Stuart Lawrence's words reaffirmed their belief in their potential to effect change and make a meaningful impact on the world. The event served as a reminder of the importance of fostering kindness, empathy, and a commitment to making the world a better place, one small action at a time.
