0:06 - 0:07♪ If you say so
-
0:07 - 0:12You can buy all the makeup
that MAC can make -
0:12 - 0:16But if you can look inside you ♪
-
0:23 - 0:25Tania El Mallah: Hey, what's wrong?
-
0:25 - 0:27Serena Sittnig: I don't have
a pretty dress or makeup. -
0:27 - 0:31TEM: Well, that doesn't matter.
What matters is your personality. -
0:31 - 0:32SS: You've got a pretty dress and makeup.
-
0:32 - 0:35TEM: Forget that. In fact,
that's why we're here. -
0:35 - 0:40So there we were in a PE lesson,
sorting ourselves into groups of four, -
0:40 - 0:43when suddenly this
inspirational song came on. -
0:43 - 0:45It told us something,
-
0:45 - 0:47something we wanted
to share with the world. -
0:47 - 0:51That something is that you do not have
to put on makeup to be beautiful. -
0:51 - 0:53Here are two reasons why:
-
0:53 - 0:55SS: First reason is
when you walk down the hallways, -
0:55 - 0:57and people think you're beautiful,
-
0:57 - 1:00but you can't feel the real you
from the inside. -
1:01 - 1:03TEM: And it doesn't matter
what people think. -
1:03 - 1:05It matters what you think.
-
1:05 - 1:06So what do you think?
-
1:06 - 1:08I'm Tania, and this is Serena,
-
1:08 - 1:12and we're going to do a dance to a song,
"Just the Way You Are," by Bruno Mars. -
1:19 - 1:22(Music - "Just the Way You Are")
-
1:36 - 1:37Singer #1 and #2:
-
1:37 - 1:39♪ Her eyes, her eyes
-
1:39 - 1:42Make the stars look like
they're not shining -
1:42 - 1:43Her hair, her hair
-
1:43 - 1:46Falls perfectly without her trying
-
1:46 - 1:49She's so beautiful
-
1:49 - 1:53And I tell her everyday
-
1:55 - 1:57I know, I know
-
1:57 - 1:59When I compliment her she won't believe me
-
1:59 - 2:01And it's so, it's so
-
2:01 - 2:04Sad to think that she don't see what I see
-
2:04 - 2:07But every time she asks me
"Do I look okay?" -
2:07 - 2:10I say
-
2:11 - 2:15When I see your face
-
2:15 - 2:20There's not a thing that I would change
-
2:20 - 2:23Because you're amazing
-
2:23 - 2:27Just the way you are
-
2:29 - 2:32And when you smile
-
2:33 - 2:38The whole world stops
and stares for a while -
2:38 - 2:41Because girl you're amazing
-
2:41 - 2:45Just the way you are ♪
-
2:47 - 2:49(Music ends)
-
2:49 - 2:52(Applause)
