It's not easy to be a supermodel [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]
Chapter 45 "The Oprah Show"
Even though Letty had already thought about the answer early in the morning, she still pretended to think for two seconds before saying: "I think the biggest problem should be the language. Before I came to the United States, my English level was about the same as that of a primary school student. When I was in Miami Luckily, a lot of people speak Spanish, and I didn't particularly learn it."
Oprah looked at her with surprised eyes: "But your answer is so smooth now, I really can't tell."
The brunette smiled shyly, her eyebrows were curved, and people couldn't help but stare blankly, "I didn't realize the importance of English until I came to New York, so I forced myself to communicate with others in English every day."
"Sure enough, the fastest way to learn a language is to try to integrate into that environment."
"Yes." As she said, Leti unconsciously lifted the hair on the right side and pinned it behind her ear. The whole movement was very natural, exuding invisible charm. It happened that the right cheek was her side facing the camera. Her whole body A profile face was exposed to the camera.
Her face is very sharp, from a side angle, the jawbone is a straight line, the facial features are very three-dimensional, with a 3D effect, and the skin is so delicate that there is no trace of blemish. People can't help but sigh how good it is to be young.
She turned her long legs up, because it was because of the long skirt, so she didn't have to worry about losing them all. "In addition, I vaguely found that the issue of discrimination against African Americans has always been taken seriously, but on the contrary, everyone has ignored the issue of discrimination against Latinos."
She raised an important but often overlooked question. Many viewers were stunned when they heard it, and then fell into deep thought.
Yes, it is true that if a white person says something insulting to a black person, he will be severely punished and may even lose his job, but what if it is a Latino?Because most Latinos have white blood, many people subconsciously think that scolding a white person is not considered discrimination, but they forget that Latinos are also a minority and are in a disadvantaged position.
In fact, nearly [-]% of Latino-Americans were born in the United States. They seem to be no different from ordinary Americans, such as Mexicans. However, some white supremacists don’t care about these. In their eyes, Latinos It's people of color.
Oprah's expression became serious: "You're right, white people discriminate against black people, and white people discriminate against white people. Many people think that the former is much more serious than the latter. It sounds like you have had a similar experience?"
"I'm not. The people around me are very friendly to me." Letty said nonsense with her eyes open, but don't forget that she was ridiculed by the bald man and Daphne for her skin color when she was reborn to participate in the competition, but she didn't come up today to complain Yes, this seems too contrived, enough is enough.
Her remarks not only won the approval of Latinos, but also won the goodwill of Americans. Many people who are also Latinos have encountered the problems she said, but many people do not regard it as a problem. One thing, even if it is a report, the speaker will not be punished too severely, at most it will be a verbal warning.
If she really accused herself of being discriminated against by Americans on the show, it might arouse the disgust of Americans. After all, white supremacists are only a minority, but she said it as if all Americans would discriminate against Latinos. Map guns are no different.
"Her conversation doesn't make it clear that she is an only girl." Annie's mother said with emotion, "It made me forget that you are only one year younger than her."
Anne: "...Mum!"
Letty was praised by her mother, Annie felt very happy, but also very helpless, how can you compare her to me!
No matter how you look at it, Letty is the type of "other people's child"!Can't compare!
Annie suddenly thought, Letty should be working full-time, right?Normally speaking, at her age, she should be in grade 12 or [-], so has she dropped out of school?
Dropping out of high school is nothing new. Many high school students choose to drop out of school to join the society. One is because their grades are not good, and the other is because they cannot afford the tuition fees of college. Even if they are admitted, it is useless.Although the government has subsidies and loans, not everyone can afford the annual tuition fee of tens of thousands. Even if there is a loan, the debt will be 10,000+ upon graduation. When will it be paid off?
But Letty seems to be a very smart type, so her grades should be good?
After chatting a few more words about discrimination, Oprah controlled the time just right, and with about two-thirds of the time left, she started today's topic in a timely manner: "I just talked to the audience about drugs. Question, I have also noticed that in recent days you have been exposed to some rumors about drug-related—"
"That's not a rumor, it's true." Letty readily admitted, since the incident has been confirmed, there is no need to cover it up.
"What prompted you to try drugs?" Oprah leaned forward, posing as a listener, "It's okay, you can talk here as much as you want, I have experience like you, I can understand .”
Annie's spirit was lifted, and she was finally getting to the point!
Oprah once said: "I only do shows that are consistent with who I am. I don't let myself be forced to sit in a chair and listen to someone who disagrees with me to some extent. I You have to show your true self, without duplicity or hypocrisy."
Sincerity is the attraction of "The Oprah Winfrey Show", and it is also the most powerful charm of Winfrey herself.
As far as Letty sitting opposite her is concerned, she feels the charm of Oprah's personality personally. She is like a senior big sister who opens up to you and makes you feel that you can relax and express your heart in front of her. everything of.
Even Letty, who was at heart an adult approaching 30, was somewhat drawn to her charms.
"The first time I smoked weed was at my birthday party." She recounted the past slowly, "I was just turning my year, and my friend threw a party for me, and there were a lot of people-but I I don’t think they mainly came to help me celebrate my birthday, but they came only when they heard there was a party.” In the second half of the sentence, she used a humorous tone, adding a bit of relaxed atmosphere to this serious topic.
"Then people started smoking weed and the first time I smelled it I was just disgusted, but I kept getting booed and told me to try it because I was in a bad mood because of family issues, kind of rebellious. Mentality—you know, I just want to make myself different from others, and under the pressure of the crowd, I smoked the first marijuana. After that day, I fell in love with this very High feeling and kept going Seeking a high, soon the marijuana didn't satisfy me, and I started smoking cocaine."
Oprah said: "So I always emphasize that marijuana is actually no different from other drugs. It is like a key that opens the door to the fall and keeps us sinking."
At this time, the screen switched to the auditorium. It can be seen that many people showed their approval. Indeed, many people do not take smoking marijuana seriously, because everyone is smoking marijuana, and some places even legalize marijuana. It has been changed, but in fact this is a distorted value. Everyone is doing this, but it does not mean that this is right. Unfortunately, young people are not aware of it.
This kind of thing didn't just happen to this girl. It can be said that most of the addicts were instigated by their friends for the first time, and then they got deeper and deeper.
Especially parents, they are most afraid that their children will get into bad habits, because once it starts, it is difficult to go back, and they still stubbornly think that it is no big deal, everyone around them is smoking, why can’t I?
Oprah went on to ask: "When did you decide to quit drugs?"
"When I decided to become a model." The black-haired girl's voice was actually not as clear as other girls, a little low and with a little smoke, "After I became addicted to drugs, I smoked a few times a day. A joint or some cocaine, or it's going to be so painful, it's like ten thousand ants burrowing into my bones."
Many people's faces changed when they heard this description, being drilled into the bones by ten thousand ants?That's too scary, right? !
"I gotta say, she's not exaggerating," Oprah interjected, admonishing the audience. "Even after all these years, I remember the feeling, the pain you can't imagine."
When the camera returns to Letty, the expression on her face remains unchanged, as if she is telling the past from the perspective of an outsider, but it is precisely because of her indifferent attitude that it is heartbreaking that she must be After going through a lot, you can face the past with a calm attitude, right?
"It kept me from concentrating on one thing, and it seemed like the reason I lived every day was to have a few puffs. When I realized I couldn't go on like this, I chose to go to rehab for help, and then I met my My counselor, Sarah, has helped me a lot, and she has a lot of credit for my success in detoxification." The brunette girl gradually smiled, "There is another person, I am very lucky to meet him , He saved me, otherwise I would probably still be tortured by drugs now."
"He?" Oprah keenly grasped an important point, and blinked at her ambiguously, "It must be a very important person?"
"You can say that." After all, she was the one who rescued her from the mud. Letty turned her eyes to the camera closest to her. There was a bright smile on her pretty face, which had the magic power of infecting people's hearts. , "Hi, I don't know if you've been watching this show, if you do, I want to say thank you."
"He'll see it," Oprah said. "Leeticia, I'm glad you found your purpose. It doesn't matter if you lost yourself. The key is that you can stand up again and move towards your goal."
The black-haired girl said in a calm but extremely firm tone: "I once thought about hiding this matter for eternity, but many things are out of my control, and being exposed is something I didn't expect. Realizing that you can't live your life unaware of what you've done, I just hope it's not too late to make amends."
"You don't need to be ashamed of the past at all, girl, who didn't do a few stupid things when they were young?" Oprah looked at her with sincere eyes and said to her, "I gave birth to a baby when I was 14 years old. Dead boy, I've smoked, I've done drugs, I've done a lot of wrong things—”
"But I am sitting here now!" The last sentence was addressed to Letty, and this sentence is addressed to the audience, "What we have done in the past cannot determine who we are now! The significance of those things The thing is, they make us great people!"
This sentence is very convincing when spoken by other people, but when it is Oprah who speaks, countless people are moved by her.
It's no secret that Oprah had a miserable childhood, but it's because of those experiences that she's the talk show queen she is today, and she's the one most qualified to say it.
There was thunderous applause at the scene, which was given to Oprah and also to Letty.
Teenagers who are plagued by drugs look at the bright and attractive brunette beauty on the screen, and they can't help but wonder, if they quit drugs, can they live as well as her?
The audience has been unconsciously influenced by Oprah's words. Yes, it doesn't matter what kind of person that girl was in the past, what matters is what kind of person she is now.
Besides, the wrong person should be the one who leaked her medical records, right?How can you blame the victim in turn?
Especially the housewives, they are a large group of viewers who watch "Ao". Apart from watching TV series, watching talk shows is also one of their few entertainments.
Some of their children were around Letty's age, so they knew better how rebellious teenagers her age can be, impulsive and reckless, not listening to their parents, which is very troublesome.
However, this drug-addicted girl sat there talking, healthy and beautiful, and faced up to her mistakes bravely. This seemed to be more commendable for the tenacity and maturity she showed, and they began to like this girl.
Oprah looked at her with surprised eyes: "But your answer is so smooth now, I really can't tell."
The brunette smiled shyly, her eyebrows were curved, and people couldn't help but stare blankly, "I didn't realize the importance of English until I came to New York, so I forced myself to communicate with others in English every day."
