►Speaker: Malcom Hooper

A second-year business student and captain of the Durham Lords men’s rugby team, Hooper has conquered many difficulties in his life. Hooper talks of being taken from his biological parents as a child and placed in a foster home, where he was eventually adopted, with a white family in a predominantly white town. Hooper shares how as a mixed-race child he struggled and at the age of 16, a falling out with his adoptive parents led to him being kicked out of his home – a moment Hooper refers to as his “darkest time.” He recalls being atop the roof of his school gym, standing on the edge and thinking about jumping. Fortunately, he was eventually able to see positives in his life amidst the struggles. Shortly after, a friend’s family took Hooper in off the street. Athletically, Hooper has now had plenty of success, captaining the Lords to a 7-1 overall record in their inaugural season in the OCAA, capped off by winning the provincial championship at home. Over six matches he scored two tries and was named an OCAA East Division All-Star. This speech is now an award winning speech winning a speaker slam competition.

  3. I cried when he mentioned the letter from the police stopping him from getting near the parents house, thats deep especially for a 16 yr old. I'm inspired, thanks for the motivation.

  4. Hi everyone 🙂

    I really need some support to stop wasting time. If anyone would please leave a short message of encouragement, signed with your name, gender and nationality, I'll write them on small noteas and read some of them every day. Thank you. I'll start:

    Think of everything your parents have done for you. Make them proud.

  5. I have depression but I have to admit this isn’t the darkest time of my life yet… I need to prepare myself mentally to resist to the harder times yet to come & to never give up… the only thing which lacks is the belief of the self ?

  6. For the past few years…. I'm going through hard times…still suffering…But one day….i will come back here…edit this comment and say to the world out loud and the people reading this….that i have never given up on myself.. kept calm.. been patient and tried for what i wanted till i reached where i wanted to be….

    Edit :- (Space to write in the future about my success)

  7. Nothing can be done by my life I m playing video games 16hrs a day its like I will be like next morning when I will wake up I will study as I wake up I would go to my table and hold the phone and time passes 1 to 2pm ,3 to 4, like that when it becomes 1am at night me playing video games i feel so guilty

  8. At 16 I was be bullied and depressed so many times
    Now, I'm pursuing my master degree
    Fighting for everyone who struggling with depression!

  9. Due to some family problems, I am forced to study in high school again. I am now 18 . It's extremely frustrated to see all my friends get into their dream university and then I just start the 10th class. I was in a quiet great school but now the school I am in makes me often unmotivated to study.
    I am envious to my friends who can study what they want and I still have to repeat those boring subject again and again.
    I think now it's my darkest time, I don't even know if the "second high school life" could have a use of my future……

  10. Motivation2Study is the best Creator For Motivation Videos, i actually Created my own Channel Called (იკითხე აქ*Read Here) to show even more Motivation Speeches-Come Check it out and it will always follow Back"

  11. Wow this one really hit home ! I cried tears because I know I’m not alone on this earth. Listening to this really made me feel like I’m not alone ! Just wat I needed.
    Thanks for the great message

  12. I don’t know the backstory to his first set of “parents” but it seems to me they didn’t even love him. Kids and teenagers will always make mistakes but that doesn’t mean you stop trying or loving them. They discarded him and then wouldn’t let him go back to the house. Thank goodness he was adopted by other loving parents eventually. I’m glad you overcomed all that and actually soared! That’s awesome!

  13. I lost my mother suddenly last year, was closest to her, still can't beleive she's gone
    I haven't been able to sleep since last year, I have been to many doctors, now I am trying medicine for asthma, trying to get through hour by hour, girlfriend broke up with me yesterday.
    I don't if I'll survive, but I'll give it my best shot
