:45:00
But...
:45:03
then I wondered how I'd feel...
:45:05
after abdicating my role
as Princess of Genovia.
:45:08
Would I feel relieved
or would I feel sad?
:45:12
And then I realized...
:45:14
how many stupid times a day
I use the word "l."
:45:19
In fact,
probably all I ever do...
:45:22
is think about myself.
:45:23
And how lame is that...
:45:25
when there are 7 billion
other people on the planet--
:45:27
Ahem.
:45:28
Ooh. Sorry.
I'm going too fast.
:45:32
But then I thought...
:45:35
if I cared about
the other 7 billion out there...
:45:38
instead of just me...
:45:40
that's probably
a much better use of my time.
:45:43
See, if I were
Princess of Genovia...
:45:49
then my thoughts...
:45:51
and the thoughts of people
smarter than me...
:45:55
would be much better heard
and just maybe...
:45:59
those thoughts could be
turned into actions.
:46:04
So this morning
when I woke up...
:46:07
I was Mia Thermopolis.
:46:10
But now...
:46:15
I choose to be forevermore...
:46:19
Amelia Mignonette
Thermopolis Renaldi...
:46:23
Princess of Genovia.
:46:27
[ Applause ]
:46:38
I hope you didn't order
your stationery yet.
:46:43
This was my very first tiara.
:46:45
I was rather fond of it.
:46:47
I'm hoping you will be, too.
:46:50
Oh. Grandma,
but you had it already.
:46:54
How did you know
I'd even be here?
:46:55
Because I recognize
the same spirit in you...
:46:58
as someone else I know.
