Culture Presentation Day- ELLEN

Hi you guys,

Today I had the “pleasure” to give my culture presentation about Ellen DeGeneres. Those of you who were there- I hope you liked it :). I wasn’t really satisfied with myself though. I was extremely nervous and I don’t know why. Of course giving a speech or a presentation is always a stressful situation but this time it was different. I am really passionate about my topic and I so wanted people to like it. I could go on and on about Ellen DeGeneres and I actually wanted to add a lot more things but unfortunately we only had 8 minutes. What is great though, is that I can do that now =)

Well, the reason I like Ellen so much is that besides all the funny stuff  and the famous people on her show, she isn’t afraid of talking about serious issues. I couldn’t think of any thing I don’t like about her. I just admire her on so many different levels. I think she is insanely beautiful on the inside as well as on the outside and the funniest person I know. I love that she does so much for people but not only by giving them money or cars or whatever but by simply doing her show and making them laugh. After watching an episode of the Ellen DeGeneres show I feel so much better than before and this feeling really is priceless. It amazes me every time that one single person can do so much for others. 

Sometimes I even dream about meeting her in person- that would be one of the greatest things on earth!!!  I think it’s very important that Ellen is so popular because she uses that to do so many good things and everyone can see: There are good people in this world!! (Faith in humanity restored)

I also love that she overcame her fears to come out of the closet and even after everyone rejected her and her show got cancelled she didn’t give up- and look where she is now! Ellen never stopped pursuing her dreams and not many people are able to do that. I think it is enormously brave. By coming out, she did so much for all the other gay people as they can see: Everything is going to be fine. She has helped so many to accept who they really are and finally live openly gay. It’s just unbelievable how many lives she has changed and still changes!! 

She definitely changed mine and I’m more than happy about that. I guess you can see how enthusiastic I am about her and I hope you let her change your life too.

I showed 30 seconds of a video today during my presentation and here is the 8 minute version. Enjoy.
