Last week’s visit was wonderful—thank you so much for spending time with our community and sharing your inspiration and encouragement!
Below are some quotes from community members following your visit.
Today, we had the privilege of welcoming Aaron Golub to the YCDS campus. Aaron shared his truly inspirational story, one that challenges us to rethink our limitations and focus on what’s possible when we lead with purpose, collaborate with intention, and communicate with clarity. His journey reminded us that leadership isn’t about titles, but about influence; collaboration is about valuing every voice; and communication is the bridge that makes both possible. We are grateful for the lessons, the motivation, and the reminder that resilience and determination can open doors we never imagined. Thank you, Aaron, for inspiring our community today!
I am still receiving rave reviews of your presentation. The teachers ABSOLUTELY loved your visit.
We were so excited to welcome Aaron Golub, the first legally blind Division 1 athlete, to Carden Conejo School for a special assembly with our 1st through 5th grade students. From the moment he started speaking, the kids were completely engaged by his story and the powerful message he shared.
Beyond his inspiring talk, Aaron was a total professional and a pleasure to work with. He showed up on time, was super easygoing, and made the whole planning process smooth and stress-free. He always got back to us quickly and made sure we were aligned on all the details ahead of time.
What really stood out was how well Aaron connected with the students. He spoke to them in a way that was honest, relatable, and truly inspiring. He shared the challenges he faced growing up blind and what it took to become an athlete at the Division 1 level. His story touched on resilience, mental strength, and determination, but also emphasized the importance of empathy, teamwork, and lifting each other up.
Throughout the assembly, the students were totally hooked. They asked thoughtful questions, and Aaron responded with so much patience, humor, and insight. He helped them better understand how he manages daily life, what it’s like being part of a team, and how he pushed through obstacles to chase his goals.
It was clear that Aaron made a real impact. His energy and openness created a space where kids felt comfortable asking questions and sharing their own thoughts. They walked away feeling inspired and more confident in their ability to tackle their own challenges—just like Aaron has.
We’re incredibly grateful Aaron took the time to visit our school. He’s an amazing role model, and his visit left a lasting impression on our entire community.
Aaron Golub’s presentations at Three Rivers School and Channahon Junior High were truly exceptional. His story of perseverance and resilience resonated with our 5th-8th grade students, inspiring them to reflect on their own challenges and goals. Aaron connected with our kids in a way that was both authentic and engaging, and our students commented on how "cool" it was that he was a Division 1 athlete!
Aaron figuratively and literally gave students a chance to see the world through his eyes. He encouraged them to see obstacles not as limitations but as opportunities to grow and learn. His message about hard work, attitude, and character fit perfectly with our Red Ribbon Week programming.
Our students and staff left feeling motivated and uplifted by his story and success. I would highly recommend Aaron to any school or district looking to inspire their students with a message that truly makes a lasting impact. Aaron is living proof that “when you are willing to do the work nobody else will do, you will get results nobody else can get.” Thank you, Aaron!
Aaron Golub delivered an impactful and thought-provoking presentation that encouraged our team to focus on how we approach disabilities and inclusion. His insights on shifting perspective, fostering open dialogue, and leveraging emotional intelligence were both practical and inspiring. We appreciate Aaron sharing his story with our group and for his vulnerability! The session was truly meaningful.

Having Aaron on campus was an amazing and transformative experience for our student-athletes. The feedback we received from student-athletes who attended was among the best. I have ever received for a campus speaker in my career. Aaron’s presentation is engaging and interactive,and his story of perseverance and overcoming adversity was extremely important for our student-athletes to hear. How Aaron interweaves the topics of leadership and inclusivity make his presentation even more powertul and impactful. We are looking forward to having Aaron on campus again in the future, and I highly recommend to any athletic department or organization that they consider bringing in Aaron in to speak
"I have been in education for a long time, and I would say Aaron Golub's talk to our student body was one of the most uplifting and motivational speeches I have heard in my career. The faculty and students had the same sentiment. The standing ovation our students gave Aaron was heartfelt, as they were inspired by Aaron's call to persevere."
Thank you again for today!! It was so great meeting you. Your story is an amazing source of inspiration. In fact, I had a group of seniors stop and see me at the end of the day to thank me for bringing you to IKE. They said you were “the best speaker they’ve seen in the three years” they’ve been in the building and the message “is something that will really stick with me as I move into this next chapter of life
Mr. Golub’s story of perseverance, initiative, and leadership was relevant to every one of our Middle Schoolers. As here minded us, we all face unique adversities, and what matters most is how we respond to them.
