Big thanks to your mother Vy. I really admire her for loving and being behind you always.

[@uyenuyen739]

I have been suffered from anxiety and disappointment recent days due to problems about my study and future career. Watching this video is really heart-touching and I was nearly about to cry when hearing the words "Just be yourself". Thank you Khanh Vy for your talk, which is so emotional and inspirational.

[@stronkneko2528]

Never have I envision her stepping on this stage and giving a presentation concerning her own lesson for over 15 minutes long. Your speech is flawless. Your inspiration is out of this world. Please keep up the good work.

I love the way your mom thinks! She is spot on and supported you even tho it was not the easy path to follow but she knew you loved it.

[@hanhmy408]

I am moved extremely when hearing this. I used to be a girl, who lost hope in myself, lost the direction of my life, and live a life based on others' opinions and judgments. Your speech has touched my inner soul, and I really appreciate it! Thank you very much, Khanh Vy!

[@anhnhu2399]

Several years ago, the thoughts "Who am I?" and "Do people need to listen to my introduction because I have no value towards them?" repeated over and over in my mindset. However, her speech inspires and motivates me on my journey with a view to finding out my passion and discovering myself. Obviously, it does not include any academic knowledge which may make us misunderstand, it was just her own story about her youth and how she could be herself. Trust me, all of us will effortlessly see ourselves in her talk and realize that sometimes, we get lost. If you are not brave enough to fight for yourself, you will never discover your inner energy and you will never know how strong you can be.

[@yenvynguyen3995]

I like the way you use the word "transform" at the end of your speaking. In my opinion, when you know how you want to be, what you want to do, and you try your best to "transform" yourself to become better, that's also being yourself. Listening to your inner voice and becoming a better version than yesterday. Thank you for sharing a very motivating story

[@hoangyen4698]

[@jeraldnoval167]

she speak about how you will going to challenge yourself, so I learn that do what makes you happy and don't mind the people who's judging you (such a powerful speech) It is easy to say "be yourself" when you are successful in the life. It is important to discover everything about yourself and learn how to live your life happily with your identities and adapt to the community when needed.

Her story motivated me lots. Never give up, listen to your inner voice and keep moving forward. I'm sure soon your effort will get paid back.

[@darkenyuki9109]

Some people has said that this speech focused more on being true with yourself and accept who you are rather than step out of the norm but for me, staying true with yourself and don't try to be someone else is already a HUGE step out of the norm; Many people are being feared and stressed out by difficulties in life and get depressed and sad so they kind of prevent them from doing incredible things. The statement of "Step out of the norm" can be easily understood just by know exactly who you are and what makes your life enjoyable and valuable, it's not about being outstanding or being famous or inventing some thing extraordinary. Thanks to your wonderful speech Ms. Vy, it's very well-done.

[@thandarwaiphyo3378]

During the time when I'm listening her speech, I feel that I wanna listen again and again. Her speech makes me energize and to analyze myself and her voice is adorable.

[@hellenphan3318]

from my perspective, I think this speech mentions more about being yourself and following your inner voice rather than stepping out of the norm of yourself. but it doesn't matter, it's an immensely meaningful speech , I love the positive energy that you transfer to everyone thank you very much

[@linhtayo2309]

I can see your point, but I think what she wants to tell us is that: You can be extraordinary. And when you come out of the norm, you should not change who you are to follow other opinions. So overall, it's a complete presentation for this topic.

[@kathleenng924]

Just a side note, once you say "from my perspective", no need to say "I think" as they mean the same thing. This also applies for "in my opinion" 😇

Great talk Vy. Accepting yourself as who you are is one of the greatest gifts that you can give to yourself. That’s also mean you would accept others as who they are, and people would be much more compassionate to look from that perspective.

[@abricastar]

Such an emotional and inspiring speech. At first, I could see how she was nervous due to her trembling voice. She looked on the verge of tears when she was talking about her family's story. But from the middle to the end, she was excellent at transferring meaningful messages. All of us know that we need much bravery to step out of the norm and I'm glad that she has found her ego after that. Keep going Vy!

[@smithjenny8832]

Her speech was so inspirational. She made me realize how precious and unique we are and don't be discouraged or afraid of other's judgements or cristism, Just Be Yourself, keep your head up and confidently step- by -step toward the best version of yourself. Thank u so much, Vy
