here with you to share this day
and talk a little about what it is
identity for us as
Puerto Ricans and what it means to
me and I’m very proud to be here
representing puerto rico level
worldwide and representing all of you
that I’m going to my competition so
thank you very much for all the support that I
have given in my career and for that support
that they gave me in river that was amazing
so thank you very much everyone
now we as Puerto Ricans know
What is it
we all have a dream in the
work in our lives
we all have a dream and we have to dream
in big let’s say I always
I had dreamed of being an athlete
professional in an Olympic champion and
well I had my vision and mission was
get to the top
above all to be able to be for me
on that podium in river to be able to live
that moment of glory because that vision
It was not clear to me now to have goals to
short and long term to get where
you want to get there obviously you need some
goals we can not say I’m going to win this
without thinking about what I’m going to do to
gam this I wanted to win river
so I had to set goals well
basic well short say I’m going to
work to get stronger
physically I’m going to get a little more
mentally strong so our
lives day by day you have to put
also small that we can
we believe that we can achieve it today I’m going
to study harder to get it right
in this exam or this work that gave me
teacher
today in my work I will do this well
so the boss means very good job
something like that
If you want or are promotion or if you want
get out on a test very well then you have to
have goals
short cuts to reach your goal more
great in the long term
you also have to block the voices
negative people negative social network
they were investigating that is in my life
there is a lot of negativity there are many people
that when I’m winning everything very well
rose michèle mónica year of mine
how nice is that if we very well
when I lose Monica Kemal aerial and
my god how can you lose again
that if the other I’m good at that in
this time I like to close the
social networks
I do not like to open what they put three or four
days later because those things I
affect
I believe that the law and the
negativity affects a lot
that is let’s see how many of you
they see something negative and it makes you feel
sad or they make you cry or make you
feel very frustrated many people like that
that one thing is to dream big is
block the negative voices to be able to
focus on your goal and I have everything is
very connected here have a vision
have your goals and what in the end
very important negative
do whatever it takes to us as
Puerto Ricans or are we have that
strong character we want to do what
that is to achieve our goals already to
except I’m sorry but I think that
everything every recent Puerto Rican
we need that motivation to get there
what we want to reach
what motivates you to do nowadays
well the exam win a tournament
you know how to motivate yourself to do things that
your parents tell you for example go to
scrub orb make your bed whatever there is
to be motivated to close or maybe as
your motivation is going to be good because if
I do not suckled before me yelling whatever I
I have to do but motivate a
positive way and you have to continue with your
plan
the goals are your plan that we are going to do
to meet
those goals today I’m going to the gym
today I’m going to eat healthy today I’m going to
do the things that will reach me
to be successful in life is such a plan
that what I recommend is that if
have a vision a goal with a
guardadito writes more or less what
he wants to fulfill how you ‘re going to fulfill 77
it’s going to be a little easier to work
against adversity
this is something that every person goes to
face once in your life is
adversity adversity can be a day
bad a bad tournament in my case a
bad week I work but they are those
moments that you can not leave for
defeated
You can not say ah, I can not do it anymore
I can not do it, I can not do it
do many times happens to me he gave me
I can not do anymore and in that moment and
machine gunners and mónica focus other
time in your positive plan that what you
Do you really want to beat everything in that?
negative the goal
the biggest goal that I have is the
number one in the world win a grand
slam I already did the olympics
so I try to always be
positive and think beyond what
is happening today that maybe it ‘s
a called a bad practice and
enjoy the way be my favorite
I enjoyed every moment until
get to that moment of glory in river
Sometimes I was crying on the court
and having a hard time but enjoying every
moment because that was a video of a
blog to get to this moment of
glory
macy’s first of all this month have
given sprint
this my coach tells me all
days because a lot of people believe
why they did wrong one day already
finished everything
and that’s not the case, you have a goal and
that goal takes a long time I like
tennis player
I have 10 years to fulfill my goals
because the very short race
so if I have the pressure to get there
fast and I thought that at 20 21
years was going to arrive and it did not arrive and
I stayed and I was like I did not arrive
I wanted what I’m doing but then
I was told
Monica remembers that it does not arrive so there
that enjoy the process you have to
have fun have fun what are you
doing
if you do not love what you are doing and not
is having a good time do not do it in my
advice
I have fun on the court passed it
all right
I smile I try to enjoy every moment
in my practices in my matches and that
is the most important because if you do not love
what are you doing do not do it
enjoy the victories and learn from
the losses
I enjoy every victory and they hurt me
a lot of losses
many people after a game that
I want they see me crying sad they see me
frustrated but that’s where I go to my
work team
we sit down and talk about what happened
we can correct as if you get a bad
note in an exam with your teacher to your
parents to my father who happened some time
error something that we can correct or in your
chief work that happened in this project
what happened that we can correct for
do it better and that’s where to enjoy
the victory when they come because you know
that your work makes you strong when not
there is also the last thing is to appreciate
who you are and love where you come from
I am Puerto Rican sometimes when
I speak English people tell me ‘you are
american
well it’s about saying that is not true
I am Puerto Rican and I live
loving Puerto Rico, I started
represent puerto rico when he had
14 years worldwide and I love
represent puerto rico
I identify myself as Puerto Rican and
we all identify ourselves as
puerto rican puerto rican
we have warm blood if sometimes
I do but we are very determined
when it comes to doing something that I love
we always have a purpose
in life and we always have to love
ourselves
I know that today there are many
criticism of how people are
this one is fat you admire how it has
hair I do not like that dress and that
affects like negative voices like
I had before but if you feel a
minute and cesc
I make myself for how I am
I am a good person I am Linda Olindo
now out outside in everything you’re going to
to learn that life is very beautiful and you go
to enjoy more and you have to identify yourself
to be Puerto Rican Puerto Rican
why being Puerto Rican is the best
blessing that this life has given me
and represent puerto rico has been the
the best thing that would have happened to me at all
because without puerto rico I am nothing
without you I am nothing so
thank you very much for all the support
[Applause]
and I hope that these words that can
help
you give me and that they can inspire
a little more to dream big do what
that you are passionate and enjoy being
Puerto Rican Puerto Rican
enjoy the person who you are because
life is too short to not appreciate
things so thank you very much
[Applause]
