Actress Sandra Bullock, recently surprised some American school students with an inspiring graduation speech.
Sandra was the commencement speaker at the graduation ceremony of at New Orleans, Warren Easton High School.
Sandra revealed in her speech her insecurities as a teenager and reminded the students not to worry so much.
“Stop worrying so much. I don’t remember any of the moments in my life where I worried. Go find your joy. It’s not the worry, it’s not the what-ifs. It’s the joy that stays with you.
Raise the bar higher. I only remember the moments where I tried beyond what I thought I could do, and I do not remember the failures because I didn’t. Nothing is a failure, it’s just not supposed to work out that way, because something better is supposed to come along.”
Sandra went on to reveal how she tries to inspire her four-year-old son, Louis every day.
"We turn on the music really really loud before we leave the house. And the rule is, you have to dance a little bit before you step out in the world, because it changes the way you walk,"
Sandra told the students that they should give it their all in everything, especially when it comes to hugs.
“Don't do the one-armed hug, because when you hug with two arms, it allows you to lean on somebody, and we always need somebody to lean on. If someone doesn't want to play with you, it's okay. Not everyone is going to love us, go find somebody who does want to play with you, and appreciates what you have to offer.”
Bullock finished the heart-warming speech by telling the crowd to "go and find their joy".
