If I should have a son, he will refer to me as "Queen," because all women are to be treated like that. And I am going to write every "nice" word on the backs of his hands so he remembers what to say to those girls in his first grade class who are chasing him around the play ground. And he will learn to not even look at his hands to talk to a girl. So the first time he actually start liking a girl in middle school, he will never mess up or say the wrong thing or hurt her. Because his mother taught him those things. Trust me. "And, baby," I'll tell him, I've been your Queen and now she is your Princess. And that little girl will love you for that. She will wonder why you call her that. You just tell her I call you that because that’s the way …show more content…
Thank you.
All right, so I want you to take a minute, and I want you to think of two things you know to be true about women. They can be true or false. But don’t think to hard. Okay, ready?
So two things I know about women. I know that not all of them like to stand up here while their palms are sweaty and shaking from the excitement of talking to large audiences. And I know that not all women are the same.
Those are two things I know. But there are many things that I don’t quite comprehend. So I ask people and google them. Sometimes, even after that, I didn’t find the answer. But at least I figured something else out.
In my 11 years of schooling, I have learned that not all girls are the same. Not all women are the same. When I was a sixth grader, some girls were taller. Some were shorter. And some were chubby. While others were only skin and bones. I had a variety of friends. Tall ones, short ones, skinny and chubby ones. Even nice ones and mean

And it was borderline disgusting. So we encouraged each other to stay away from those kinds of guys until we found the right one. Instead of investing our time into guys, we were passionate about dance and homework. Just to stay away from boys.
In preparing for TED, I came across one of my old dairies with a page about how when I was a fifth grader I thought men and women should have equal rights. And be paid the same. And be treated the same. So even as a fifth grader, I knew how women were treated was not the same as men, and that wasn’t okay. But that is how this society was.
My parents named me Olivia, which is the actress of Sandy in Grease. In Grease, Sandy knew Danny wasn’t treating her the way he should. So she laughed and moved on. So if you told me I wasnt being treated like a Queen – or a Princess, I would probably laugh too. I might even laugh so hard I forget that what I'm laughing at isn't even funny. This isn't my first time here. This isn't my last time here. These aren't the last times I will say these words. But just in case, I'm trying my hardest for everyone to feel like a
The term body image refers to a person's sense of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the physical appearance of his or her body (“Body Image”). Girls are susceptible to influences telling them what they should look like even at
Legacy: I would like to thank all of my family, friends, teachers, and coaches who have supported me throughout high school. I would like to Kip and Julie Johnson, my parents. Thank you for everything that you have done for me. No matter how hard I was on you guys, you never gave up on me. You always knew that I could do better and constantly encouraged me to do so. I would also like to say a special thanks to my girlfriend Bekka. You have always been there for me since the 9th grade when we started dating. You always helped me with any of my work that I had sturggled with. I appreciate you always telling me that I could do better, even though I was lazy. Thank you for always supporting me, love. I would next like to thank all my friends: Tyler, Hugo, Ed, Casey, Tristan, James,
Good morning Aphrodite. I may not have much to say, and I'm sorry for that, but the stuff I do have to say.. I hope it'll make you smile.
His eyes were glued to the remote dimple on the side of her cheek. It was his way of containing the boyish grin that illuminated his face when she spoke. He stared adoringly, until Jinora's hand found the top of his. Kai stepped forward and he took a fortifying breath.
Good morning baby! I just wanted to give you something cute to wake up to, so here i am. I really hope that this will be able to put a smile on that cute face of yours. You are so unbelievably caring and kind and just flat out amazing. You deserve so much more than what you actually receive but then again, you are so young and you have such an amazing life ahead of you and hopefully, i will be able to see it as well. You just need to keep doing what you love and no matter what happens or whatever it may be, i’ll always be here for you. Not a day that passes by that i don’t feel blessed to have you. This is going to sound corny but i honestly do think that us meeting again may have been fate. I don’t like to think about what happened between us 6 months ago but i don’t want to ignore it because it happened and nothing can change that. But the point is, is that my love grew for you. And it continues to grow. Every single day when i talk to you i feel so complete and i feel like i really found the one. My love grows for you more and more every time that we talk.
Attached is our rough draft. I want to thank you for the extension you gave us, but I suggested that our group turn it in today, so we can spend tomorrow working with Becky on our presentation.
Good evening, thank you for having me here. I’m honored that I have been chosen to give my commencement speech and I’m glad to be here. First off, I’d like to thank the superintendent, also thanks to the administration, staff, the graduating class, and to all of you attended here today. The next generation, gathered here today, I’d like to tell you something very important that (I hope) you will consider sometime in the future. life is extremely difficult and challenging unless you work for your dreams and what you wish to achieve. Reach for the sky, because nothing is impossible unless you make it. I wish I had done certain things to my best ability, but that is in the past and time stops for no one. The future is what you should look forward
On May 23rd, Dave Payne, Greg Rodgers, and I went to check on the Trailers at OCS.
I payed a freshman to write mine last night, so I hope it turned out really cool.
I’d like to clarify the reasoning behind the question I asked you yesterday. I knew you misinterpreted what I was asking you when you responded. I didn’t want to interrupt you while you were conducting team check-ins. This morning it dawned on me that, if I didn’t clear this up, I may leave you with the wrong impression.

Whatever princess I would be, I know that I’d inspire so many little girls who have wanted to meet my character their whole life. Even if my dream of becoming a Disney princess doesn’t come true, it doesn’t mean that I can’t be my own kind of princess. I can still be kind and humble. I can still encourage others to be better and carry myself with poise. This is what drives me; to make people smile and feel
As we have seen, all the Disney princesses display the common feature of being endowed with natural beauty that defines them as princesses. This simplistic equation of natural beauty to notions of goodness means that the princesses’ identities and value are often determined by their beauty and sexual appeal. Femaleness and femininity are equated to beauty, which is then equated to being a woman’s key to happiness. “Happily ever after” comes almost as easily and naturally to them as their beauty does. What results is a kind of “beauty contest motif” (Rollin, 1987), in which the beautiful get their reward, and the ugly never
I can be available to interview in the afternoon around 2:30 on both October 26th or 27th.
Here is some details to help you throughout the week. If you need anything or have any questions, you know how to reach me and/or Terry. This week our house is yours! You’re welcome to stay/sleep whereever you are comfortable. Help yourself to food/drinks and whatever else you would like. I think you know our place pretty well, so I won’t get into too much detail. As long as the cats are alive and the house is still standing when we come back, we will be happy! Hahaha!
