Music

I'm here to tell you that I've been in a room with hanging with the President of the United States to a billionaire, to one of my friends who makes $600 million dollars in a year to other friends.

I'm able to tell you as a witness that making money doesn't make you happy.

You have to find something within you that fulfills you.

Something within you. Every one of you has a story. Every one of you has greatness. You are born with it.

The most important opinion you should have in this life is the opinion of yourself.

Not what other people think about you.

I'm up here rapping at FBLA, PBL. I know some of you don't even probably like my rap.

Raise your hands. No, I'm playing.

No, but you know what I'm saying? But I'm up here being myself.

And that's what you've got to be. Be your best self.

And I also learned to not let the inner me become the enemy.

You go after your dreams. Don't let the little thing inside of you tell you, oh, you're not good enough, oh, you're not pretty enough, oh, you're not tall enough, or you're not sure enough, or you're not skinny enough.

No, you have a dream that's been put inside of you. You go for that dream.

Because either you go for that dream, or you're going to help another person build their dream.

Why not try to build your dream and help change the world?

My life has changed drastically because when I started finding value within myself, I realized that I could help others.

And let me break it down for you real simple hope. This is a Derek Clark acronym.

Hope helping one person every day.

Hope. When you go back home tomorrow,

you remember Diamond D. You remember Diamond D. Sharon a message of hope because every one of you has a story.

And every one of you has the ability to share hope.
