Learn English with Rihanna INCREDIBLE Speech at Harvard University - English Subtitles

So I came to Harvard. I never thought I would be able to say that in my life, but it feels good, thank you Dr. Contador, thank you to the Harvard Foundation and thank you to Harvard University for this great honor, thank you. I feel incredibly honored to be recognized to this magnitude for something that I never really wanted to be recognized for when I was five or six years old. man, I remember watching TV and I would see these commercials and I would see other children suffering in other parts of the world and you know the commercials were there, you know you could get 25 cents and save a child's life, you know, and I would think of myself I asked myself how many 25 cents I could save to save all the children in Africa and I was like, "You know," when I grow up and I can get rich and be a sick kid all over the world, I just didn't know I'd be in a position to do it when I was a teenager, when I was seventeen I started my career here in the United States and at age 18 I started my first charity and then joined other organizations. in the years that followed and I met, helped and even lost some of the most beautiful Souls from the age of six, like Nina Amina, who passed away in 2010 from leukemia.

Her story inspired thousands of volunteer donors across GMS. Fast forward to 2012, when my grandmother, the Lake Clara brat, went through She lost her battle with cancer, which is the real reason and driving force behind the claret line. We are all human and we all just want a chance, a chance at life, a chance at education, a chance at a future really and At CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one, just one while I look into this beautiful room, I see optimism, I hope to see the future, I know that each and every one of you has the opportunity.

To help someone else, all you need to do is help one person without expecting anything in return from me, which is a caring people that makes it seem too difficult, the truth is what the girl watching those commercials didn't know It's just that you don't You don't have to be rich to be a humanitarian You don't have to be rich to help someone You don't have to be famous You don't even have to have a college education I mean, I wish I were. I will do that. I will say you know, especially today, it's true, it may come back, but it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block from your neighborhood, you just do everything. do whatever you can to help in any way you can and today I want to challenge each of you to commit to helping a person, an organization, a situation that touches your heart.

My grandmother always used to say that if you have a dollar, there is plenty to share, thank you ladies. and gentlemen Rhianna, we thank you for your compassion, your philanthropy to help others in need, and her wonderful music on behalf of the children of Cambridge. I present these flowers to you as a token of our gratitude. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, our program now ends. you have a good night
