What makes you special?
是什么让你与众不同？
Thank you so much. I am a journalist. My job is to talk to people from all walks of life, all over the world. Today I want to tell you why I decided to do this with my life and what I’ve learned.
非常感谢。我是一名记者。我的工作是与全世界各行各业的人交谈。今天，我想告诉你们为什么我决定用我的生命来做这件事，以及我学到了什么。
My story begins in Caracas, Venezuela in South America where I grew up, a place that to me was and always will be filled with magic and wonder. From a very young age, my parents wanted me to have a wider view of the world.
我的故事始于我成长的南美委内瑞拉加拉加斯，对我来说，这个地方过去是，将来也将永远充满魔力和奇迹。从很小的时候起，父母就希望我对世界有一个更广阔的视野。
I remember one time when I was around seven years old, my dad came up to me and said: “Mariana, I’m going to send you and your little sister, who was six at the time, to a place where nobody speaks Spanish. I want you to experience different cultures.”
我记得有一次，在我七岁左右的时候，我爸爸走过来对我说：“玛丽安娜，我要把你和你六岁的妹妹送到一个没有人会说西班牙语的地方。我想让你体验不同的文化。”
He went on and on about the benefits of spending an entire summer in ‘this summer camp’ in the United States. Stressing a little phrase that I didn’t pay too much attention to at the time, ‘you never know what the future holds’.
他不停地谈论在美国“这个夏令营”度过整个夏天的好处。强调了一句我当时没怎么注意的话，“你永远不知道未来会是什么样子”。
