I really love your speech. You should once come to my school and motivate us all :D. Please make more motivational videos. Thank you for making my day 🙂
You’re a awesome individual that help young lady like myself look at ourselves different. More on a positive level. We judge ourselves more then the next person. And to have you tell us and agree with us on a teen level helped me develop more into the beautiful woman I am today.
Even with the activity with did with putting a picture of ourselves and go around and say something you like about each other brought tears to my eyes as I read the sticky notes. Something I didn’t like, someone else found it cute!
Thank you for being you and speaking to us that day! I won’t forget it! ?
