1
Oh my gosh, hello!
2
Class of 2026!
3
Thank you so much, Amelia.
4
Where are you?
5
Your kind words.
6
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
7
And that applause, I really am just giving that back to you.
8
This is your day to be celebrated,
9
but thank you for my warm welcome.
10
to all of the graduates congratulations on this massive accomplishment i am genuinely in awe of your dedication
11
and i'm envious of your experience because my formal education ended around third grade
12
so i never got to pass a note i didn't have a locker i never wore one of these bad boys
13
in real life.
14
But I have to just say that I respect all that you've achieved so much,
15
and this day is truly just for you.
16
To all of the parents and families both here and watching from afar, congratulations.
17
I admire your courage in releasing your children into the world,
18
which I can imagine is absolutely no small feat.
19
I'm sure you had to rely on your instincts,
20
your community, and your faith in your kids.
21
It's truly a beautiful thing.
22
Thank you to President Anand for the faculty and the staff who have welcomed me so genuinely.
23
I just can't imagine how rewarding it must be year after year to send such amazing,
24
hardworking students and people into the world knowing that you prepared them with such care.
25
I am honored to be a part of this moment in time with all of you.
26
I'll be honest, it's a little surreal to be standing here
27
and giving advice since I am genuinely still figuring it out myself every single day.
28
But in a way, it kind of makes sense because at Northeastern University,
29
you believe experience isn't a substitute for education.
30
It is the education.
31
And graduating, no matter what stage of life you're in,
32
isn't about having everything figured out.
33
It's about standing at the edge of something new and choosing what comes next.
34
I know many of you started your careers earlier than most because that's the Northeastern way.
35
And when I say I started working young,
36
I'm talking seven years old.
37
I was acting by 10 and in a TV show by 13.
38
When the doors start opening,
39
it's very easy to think the right answer is always yes.
40
Yes to the next project.
41
Yes to the next expectation.
42
Yes to saying yes.
43
For years, I said yes to almost everything
44
because I thought that's what you were supposed to do when you were lucky enough to have opportunities.
45
You take them.
46
All of them.
47
When someone would ask me, what's next?
48
What's next?
49
What are you doing next?
50
I felt like a failure if I didn't have the answer,
51
so I made sure that I always had the answer.
52
But somewhere along the way,
53
probably when I was on set for a commercial or an appearance that I probably cringe at now,
54
I realized just because something is a good opportunity or a good paycheck,
55
it doesn't mean it's right.
56
By simply accepting what the world was offering to me,
57
I was losing my own voice.
58
I was reacting instead of asking myself what I really wanted.
59
That realization was a paradigm shift for me.
60
And the moment things changed was very clear.
61
I knew I had to change my pattern of saying yes,
62
so I took a break from making music.
63
Not because I didn't know exactly what kind of album I wanted to make
64
or the stories that I wanted to tell through my music,
65
because I knew precisely what I wanted.
66
But I somehow knew that I couldn't authentically make it yet.
67
So I made a choice,
68
and I took a step back.
69
I pivoted.
70
I rebuilt myself.
71
I refilled my tank.
72
I put effort into my relationships,
73
into building my family, and building a business.
74
I waited until I was ready to meet the moment.
75
I realized that saying no wasn't rejection.
76
It was redirection.
77
Putting myself towards where I truly wanted to go when I was actually ready.
78
I took back control of what I was building and I reclaimed my story and I realized my own agency.
79
I'm grateful I had the ability to take that pause.
80
Redirecting your energy in one area can mean sprinting in another.
81
The key is that I was choosing where my energy went instead of letting others choose for me.
82
A wonderful part of giving yourself that space is you can look back and see the distance you've traveled.
83
don't forget to pause and appreciate how far you've come what you've overcome
84
and then you can look forward and see all that's yet to come
85
when I started being proactive in my life
86
and my career instead of reactive I made the space in my brain to think about what felt authentic?
87
What would add value to my world and to our world?
88
Because of Northeastern, I know many of you have long been considering what you wanted to contribute to the world.
89
You have already been out there honing your skills on Nassau training floors and fishing docks in Maine,
90
at Fortune 500 companies and scrappy startups of your own,
91
even climbing Mount Everest, you crazy kids.
92
Evan?
93
You showed up first, figured it out,
94
and come back better for it.
95
So as you step into the next chapter of your stories,
96
I hope you remember all you've already accomplished.
97
Yes, perhaps the jobs that you'll have five years from now may not even exist yet,
98
and the industries you're entering are being rewritten in real time.
99
But don't let the headlines scare you.
100
What you do might change,
101
but who you are never has to.
102
Remember, you're not just building a career or a resume.
103
You're building a life.
104
You are the architect of your own happiness.
105
And you get to decide what belongs in your life
106
because we only get one as you chart your path never forget
107
that you're in the driver's seat you have the power to
108
make your own choices you have agency you choose you chose Northeastern
109
because you wanted to build something real to make an impact keep making choices like
110
that choose what excites you choose what challenges you choose what gives you room to grow
111
and just as importantly choose to let go of what no
112
longer serves you this will give you the freedom to evolve
113
and become exactly who you are meant to be the world only becomes more interesting
114
and accommodating and marvelous
115
when people show up as they truly are something I tell my kids you have to be who you are
116
because everyone else has already taken my greatest endeavor in life has been parenthood
117
and as a mother of four yeah four I cannot imagine the pride
118
that would be pouring out of me on a day like today
119
if you can hug your parents your parental your pillars, your mentors.
120
Text them back every now and then.
121
They protected you and celebrated you and watched you become you.
122
You are their success.
123
And remember, success isn't just about what you achieve,
124
it's about what you choose.
125
So congratulations, class of 2026!
126
I can't wait to Let's see what you choose!
127
Go Huskies!

- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como pause, authentically, envious.
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
