Description: 

This program emphasizes the power of perseverance, anti-bullying, and empowering students to embrace themselves. Alexia shares from personal experience how they can apply character education traits such as respect, hard work, determination, and acceptance to their everyday life and how students can do the same in their own way.

The program features an interactive portion, allowing students on stage to soccer freestyle with Alexia. The program can be tailored to schools such as focusing on individuality or on making a difference in the community.

Alexia is a player on the United States National Amputee Soccer Team and shares how she made it to where she is today by using character education traits. She also touches on the power of believing in yourself and the power of an idea and how to make it a reality.
