pop diva Rehana back to Harvard speech for Original Shanghai language translation company
So I made it to Harvard. Never thought I’d be able to say that in my life， but it feels good. Thank you， Dr. Counter， thank you to the Harvard Foundation， and thank you， Harvard University for this great honour. Thank you.
When I was five or six years old， I remember watching TV and I would see these commercials and I was watching other children suffer in other parts of the world and you know the commercials were [like]， ‘you can give 25 cents， save a child’s life，’ you know？ And I would think to myself like， I wonder how many 25 cents I could save up to save all the kids in Africa. And I would say to myself you know， ‘when I grow up， when I can get rich， I’mma save kids all over the world.’ I just didn’t know I would be in the position to do that by the time I was a teenager.
At 17 I started my career here in America， and by the age of 18， I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years and met， helped， and even lost some of the most beautiful souls， from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia， her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors through DKMS. Fast forward to 2012 and then my grandmother， the late Clara Brathwaite， she lost her battle with cancer， which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation. We’re all human. And we all just want a chance： a chance at life， a chance in 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.
But it starts with your neighbour， the person right next to you， the person sitting next to you in class， the kid down the block in your neighbourhood， you just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person： one organization， one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say， ‘If you’ve got a dollar， there’s plenty to share.’ Thank you ladies and gentlemen. It was my honour.
