Testimonials

It’s really fantastic. You’re creating new leaders in our future. You watch that video and it’s so inspiring to us even as adults. I wish I had a teacher like that at that age.
Michael Strahan

We loved the empowerment Jasmyn instills in her students, and how she teaches them the most valuable lesson of all - self-worth.
GAP Kids

What Jasmyn has done with the PUSH THROUGH message is so important. In a world that shows our youth that they are destined to fail, she has found a way to equip them with the power of self-worth. They are learning positive affirmations that will keep them strong when this world inevitably tries to get them to settle for less. It meant everything for me as a kid to be told that I was strong, smart, and ENOUGH! “Push Through” has the potential to change how our children think of themselves!
Malcolm Jenkins, Safety with Philadelphia Eagles

“I recently saw this viral video of this teacher starting every day with her class telling them to “push through.” I’ve heard many, many quotes throughout my life from great philosophers and religious leaders, but I loved the visual and loved the idea of pushing through. It is extremely encouraging. So for 2017, that’s my mantra: “Push through.” Not in a negative way and not in a forced way. Everyone has to believe in themselves!”
Tamron Hall, former co-host of the third hour of NBC News’ TODAY, Host of The Tamron Hall Show

I walked into her classroom and I could feel the positivity. Her energy is a quiet force. I loved her passion and persistence to make sure her students were leaving her classroom with life lessons. Jasmyn will impress you from the casual conversation to her incredible “Push Through” mantra. More teachers should take notes from her!
Lauren Johnson, Anchor with Philadelphia Fox 29 News

The fact that these kids are gonna grow up and this is going to be the norm makes me so happy.

Here’s what teaching kids to be determined looks like - Hero teacher day. Here’s Jasmyn Wright with her 3rd graders at Frederick Douglass Mastery Charter School in North Philly employing her now well-known “Push Through” method. Thank you, Jasmyn.

Jasmyn Wright, educator and founder of the Push Through Organization, encourages readers to explore their potential, stretching themselves beyond what may seem like impossibilities. “If someone tells you it’s too hard, don’t you ever listen. You tell them, I’m gonna push through!” The latter refrain, an empowering mantra the author developed for her third-grade students, punctuates the text, which is a more rallying cry than narrative (“What if it’s too hard? I’m gonna push through!”). Jasmyn highlights people who have persevered (“Barack Obama... He pushed through!”), and an index offers a short biography of each. Wright’s illustrations aptly relay the range of emotions felt in vulnerable situations, representing an inclusive array of figures flexing their stamina across obstacles such as math problems, sports, and making new friends. An emboldening read for managing self-efficacy. Ages 4–8. (Feb.)

What you think, you become. Thank you for encouraging our kids to be their best!

Jasmyn Wright’s manuscript for I’m Gonna Push Through! is very powerful and is going to be reaffirming for so many kids! She has managed to give a sense of hope to those facing adversity through her words.

I also want to take the opportunity to express how much the Push Through Organization has inspired me, not only to stand up for myself but to help others break down their barriers as well. You have certainly been a role model for me this year.
Class of 2022, Alejandra Duque, class president of The Community For Learning School, Dominican Republic

My supervisor, the administration, and the other teachers in the school like it too much. The students as well like the chant and they sang it when they faced problems for example during doing homework and class activities.

I just moved here from a new island. It was a culture shock. They are not motivated at all. I was up until 1am one morning, desperate and Googling ways to motivate kids. Then I came across the commercial.
Teacher, The Bahamas

I am one of the teachers you spoke to in Edmonton. Your speech was so moving! I needed to hear your words to help me and my students push through this challenging year. My students have had the most struggle of all. I am their tenth teacher. I have had to teach them that they are not broken and that they are capable of anything they put their mind to. I was so inspired by your movement I’ve written my students their own creed...Thank you for being a positive voice in a loud world of negativity.
Teacher in Edmonton, Canada

Hello Jasmyn, Just wanted to say you are a huge inspiration! I am planning a summer camp in China and I’d like to incorporate your mantra one evening...This mantra will hopefully encourage them to believe in themselves and push through it for their futures...it’s so inspiring to see you are tackling the mind first rather than focusing material gain. The mind is where it all starts.
Teacher, Beijing, China

Just_Jasmyn teaches children from the inside out. “Welcome to an unordinary classroom - each one of you have your OWN diamond inside of you that makes you - SPECIAL - you will make a difference in this world.
Teacher, Edmonton, Canada

Thank you for teaching these wonderful young people about being strong in whatever challenges life may bring. As a senior, it gives me hope that the generations coming behind me are going to be just fine with guidance and love from people like you.
