A job before getting married

Here is the story: There is an 11 year old singer/songwriter who had been asked to go on National Television to sing one of her original songs about a year and a half ago. Her little 5 year old sister (she's six now) was upset and feeling left out because her big sister was doing all these fun and interesting things. This 1 minute clip is part of a 15 minute video where she discusses her views on life and decides she isn't going to let anything come between her and her goals. Pay attention and let me know if you can learn something!

Make a difference

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace. It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man. Lean on the others and peace will prevail on earth.
