The Rest is Up to YOU

Sometimes, horrible things happen to good people, but the outcomes of those life-changing events often depend upon the motivation of the individual to overcome the hardships. Ohio State graduate and motivational speaker, Matthew Schroeder, rose above his own personal tragedy, and his compelling story is one worth hearing, for it comes from his heart.In 1997 on a frigid and rainy December afternoon, Matt was driving himself to work, significantly slower than the posted speed limit, when his tires spun out on a sheet of black ice, and he wrapped his vehicle around an electrical power pole. The transformer then fell on top of Matthew's vehicle, pinning him helplessly inside.

Matt has a Masters degree (M.Ed.) from the Ohio State University. His hope is to help others reach their goals by motivating them with this self-help work and urging them to see things in the most positive light. Matt's account can benefit anyone who is willing to put forth effort to improve his or her life.
