Wendy Jones touted as "Wheelie" Great "Roll" Model. Schools, children's hospitals, and community programs in every state will hear the importance of living beyond "normal" expectations, and discovering their potential.
Youth nationwide will experience the innovative Discover Your Potential Campaign" developed by Hawaii resident and national motivational speaker, Wendy Jones. Schools, childrens hospitals, and community programs in every state will hear the importance of living beyond normal" expectations.
I have encountered children as young as 5 years old that are numb to their potential because of early introductions to false values, labels, and stereotypes that wound a childs spirit," says Jones. This is the age of having big dreams and the 'I can be anything attitude." Her motivational message has proven successful. Children are reminded of their internal strength and value, and as a result, a chain reaction takes effect. Children pass along the motivational message to a fellow friend. A simple message that Wendy Jones believes is not taught enough.
Sustaining a spinal cord injury as a teenager threw Jones into her own world of stereotypes. That world rendered her identity to a mere physical condition. Discovering through her own experiences that a mind is more disabling than ones body, Jones implements that learned philosophy by teaching children anything is possible." After 12 years of delivering her powerful maximize your potential" message to adults, Jones has recently focused her energy on her newly published childrens book, The Magnificent Magical Roller Coaster." With the recent trend of childrens books emphasizing magic and wizardry," The Magnificent Magical Roller Coaster emphasizes magic" in a different sense. This book is about the magic of discovering how valuable we are no matter what the circumstance. It is told from the perspective of my five-year-old daughter. She sees no barriers, especially when looking at my wheelchair. She sees excitement! I have spoken to thousands of children nationwide, and every child is fascinated with my wheelchair. Young children tend to look at my wheelchair as an exciting gadget; unfortunately, society teaches our growing children just the opposite. It is important for me to help children understand that even when adverse situations are upon us, that our inner strength and power is always available to help us endure."
Experience as a mother of three children, all under the age of six, allows Jones to practice what she preaches." My daughters first day at preschool was a profound experience. She watched other mothers bring their children to school, and said Wow, mom their feet must hurt. They dont have a Magnificent Magical Roller Coaster like you do." That was when I realized I needed to capture her innocence and translate it into a story of how we view each other. It is a simple message with powerful results. We should never give up on teaching the children of the world that they have immense value. The Magnificent Magical Roller Coaster book is an added benefit of her Discover your Potential" Campaign. I wanted children to not only hear my message, but to take it home with them and live by it."
Jones has intrigued audiences nationwide with her compelling seminars. She has appeared on national talk shows and the HBO documentary Without Pity." She has held the titles of Ms. Wheelchair Florida, and Wheelchair Tennis U.S. Open Winner. She has been listed in the Whos Who of Women," and 2000 Notable Women of the Decade." She has had the privilege of a private tour of the White House and is a founding member of the National Campaign for Tolerance. She is currently writing her second book Superheros in Control Top Tights" to celebrate the joy of mothers doing it all."
