The following video proves why Dr. Eric Thomas aka ET THE HIP HOP PREACHER is my favorite motivational speaker.  In the following video Thomas begins by telling the crowd his story. He dropped out of highschool and lived homeless in Detroit for two years. His life turned around when he met a preacher who inspired him to go back to school.

The speech takes an unexpected turn when he had to tell a group of students to be quiet several times. Things got intense.
