The last six months has been tough for me. I was dealing with some issues that made me want to kill myself. Every day, when I go to work and go home from work, I pass this billboard. Every time I see the billboard, it reminds me that it's ok to be me. I know who I am. I am smart, beautiful and kind. People loves me for who I am. If there's anyone who doesn't like it, it's on them, that's not my problem. Thank you for the billboard. It has given me the strength and brought back my confidence!

Grace influenced me to learn how to play the Ukelele. Now I feel more confident then ever, I even started my own music page on Instagram musicbymiguel. Anyways, she is my number one inspiration when it comes to music. “I am not like everyone else. I don't pretend to be. I don't want to be. I am me.” -Grace VanderWaal

This is an assignment for my class but I wanted to share what I typed and hope that Grace reads it, it's important to me:
Grace VanderWaal has been a very inspirational character to me since I have seen her on America’s Got Talent in 2016. She has always valued confidence and to always be herself no matter the stereotypes and preferences of others which is what made her reach a high standard of living even for her age. Just like her, I have always valued confidence, but unlike her I never had confidence. Ever since I was younger, I always struggled with my lack of confidence. Everyone I knew would push me around and abuse my confidence when I was younger and because of that, I lacked a lot in everything that I did and still to this day I lack because of my low confidence and low self-esteem, but because of Grace I have found the inspiration to push myself and try to regain confidence and to actually believe in the positive aspects that everyone tells me about myself. Now because of Grace VanderWaal I can actually believe in myself. I value confidence just like Grace because confidence is the key to a successful life.

Grace is by far the best singer of this generation. To think she's my age! I love you Grace and I listen to your songs all the time! Including, Clay, Moonlight, Gossip Girl, and I Don't Know My Name! Stay bright girl, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

This is hanging on the back of my computer monitor at work so that every person who enters my office can see it. I also made this my FB cover photo. You inspire me every single day.
