感谢陆-九儿美女提供文本

Hi, guys, how are you,so glad to see you guys,you guys have a good night! I have to say,that it`s such an honor to be here. It is ......I`m so happy to be here.

I’m like a nerd and brought my own speech .But I hope it’s ok that I take the opportunity to really just spend with you guys and tell you a little bit about my story.

I’m not an activist, I haven’t changed the world or led a campaign . I’m here to just tell you my path, so that you hopefully can take something away from it, because I don’t like being honest with....this is truth,I don’t like being honest with press and interviews, I like being honest with you directly,which is each and everyone of you.

Because I feel like I can and I`m just going start with a basics, so I`m 21,and my mom had hahahaha, my mom had me when she was 16,and I`m from grand prairie, texas, and she worked four jobs and completely dedicated her life into making mine better.

So to me ,she is a definition of a strong women, and I love her so much because she`s taught me those values so much. emm. Thank you. I have been acting my entire life and I have known since I was first on Barney, you know that purple dinosaur, he`s great.

You guys are so motivated, I feel like I can say anything, huhhuhhuh. when I was 11,the point being that when I was 7, I wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to live my dream, and when I was 11, I had a casting director tell me that I was not strong enough to carry my own show.

And I`m sure all of you have been told that you don’t have what  takes, ans you may not be good enough and you don’t have enough people supporting you, and you’ve been told all of these things when deep down, it`s all you wanna do ,you wanna be a part of something great, you wanna make something great, and it does more than not the wind out of you and crashes you, when people try to tell you that you’re not good enough.

And it almost did for me, but there was my mom next to me stronger than ever,and she said the most important thing is to always trust in myself, if I have, If I`m doing something because I love it.,I should do it because I love it, and I believe I can do it.

So she told me to keep going. Thank you. she told me and she taught me to turn the other cheek and let the credits, the critics be critics. and let us just trust ourselves. So for me, thank you .two years later, I got my own show, and the first thought ,the first thought wasn’t ,oh ,man, that girl when I was 11 said that I wouldn’t  carry my own show. and I did. I mean I thought about that for a little bit, but I thought about what my mom said, my mom is like you have to trust yourself.

And I realized that if I didn`t believe that I could do it. I would be able to be here. and I have...I’m gonna, I’m gonna say I live a very bless life, I have so much to be  thankful for ,and a lot of you are a big part of inspiring me because I don’t think you get it, and may be you’re told enough, but you’re inspire me to be better. And we should inspire each other to be better. 

I`m surrounded by people who are supposed to guide me ,and some of them have, and others haven’t. they pressure me ,there are so much pressure, you`ve got be sexy, you`ve got be cute ,you`ve got be nice, you`ve got be all these things. 

And I’m sure you can all relate, you all have pressure that you have to deal with everyday. I`m sure with school, with work ,with friends, with parents ,with family, with parents. l know,sometimes with mine.

They tell me what to wear, how to look,what I should say, how I should be. until recently,I have given into that pressure, I lost sight of who I was. I listen to opinions of people, and I tried to change who I am because I thought the others would accept me for it. 

And I realized I don’t know how to be anything but myself. and all I really want you to know is that you’re changing the world,I’m not changing the world, you’re changing the world, and that’s amazing. 

Please, please just be kind to each other, and love and inspire people, because let’s do it , let’s do it, let’s change the game ,let’s change the game. The most important thing is that we learn and we can continue to learn from each other.  Please stay true to yourself.please just remain who you are,and know that we have each other back, all of us have each other`s back.  

I`d be lying if I said that I never tried to make myself better by given in, because I have, but I’ve learned from my actions,and for all the things I’ve done I’m proudest of that, I`ve learned from my mistakes, I want you to know what it`s like that I know what it is like. Figuring out what types of friends you have, you are who surround yourself with. 

So I just wanna say I hope I can inspire each everyone of you to just trust in yourselves, to love and to be loved, and thank you for allowing me to come up and ramble and talk to you guys because this is such a beautiful thing you’re doing, be proud of yourselves.This is great!
