and my mother heIped me
by teIIing me that it was OK... 1052
and by supporting me Iike
she has for my entire Iife. 1053
But... 1054
then I wondered how I'd feeI... 1055
after abdicating my roIe
as Princess of Genovia. 1056
WouId I feeI reIieved
or wouId I feeI sad? 1057
And then I reaIized... 1058
how many stupid times a day
I use the word ''I.'' 1059
ln fact,
probably all l ever do... 1060
is think about myseIf. 1061
And how Iame is that... 1062
when there are 7 biIIion
other peopIe on the pIanet-- 1063
Ahem. 1064
Ooh. Sorry.
I'm going too fast. 1065
But then l thought... 1066
if I cared about
the other 7 biIIion out there... 1067
instead of just me... 1068
that's probabIy
a much better use of my time. 1069
See, if l were
Princess of Genovia... 1070
then my thoughts... 1071
and the thoughts of peopIe
smarter than me... 1072
would be much better heard
and just maybe... 1073
those thoughts couId be
turned into actions. 1074
So this morning
when I woke up... 1075
I was Mia ThermopoIis. 1076
But now... 1077
I choose to be forevermore... 1078
AmeIia Mignonette
ThermopoIis RenaIdi... 1079
Princess of Genovia. 1080
[AppIause] 1081
I hope you didn't order
your stationery yet. 1082
This was my very first tiara. 1083
I was rather fond of it. 1084
I'm hoping you wiII be, too. 1085
Oh. Grandma,
but you had it aIready. 1086
How did you know
I'd even be here? 1087
Because I recognize
the same spirit in you... 1088
as someone eIse I know. 1089
Who? 1090
Me. 1091
Ah, you made it. 1092
You bet your Iife,
you big, taII string bean. 1093
Here. PaoIo here
to save the day. 1094
Genovia 1095
The land l call my home 1096
Genovia, Genovia 1097
Forever will your banner wave 1098
Her Majesty,
Queen Clarisse... 1099
and Her RoyaI Highness,
AmeIia, Princess of Genovia. 1100
