1
I am not a role model.
2
I'm not paid to be a role model.
3
I get paid to wreak havoc on the court.
4
Parents should be role models.
5
Just because I can dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
6
These are the famous words from the 1993 Nike commercial with NBA Hall of Famer
7
and NBA analyst Charles Barkley from 25 years ago.
8
Webster's dictionary defines role model as a person whose behavior in a particular role is imitated by others.
9
Parents are role models, certainly minor for me, but who can kids look to outside of their parents, teachers and mentors to inspire us,
10
to provide a direction to achieve the heights that we hope to?
11
Our society has been focused around entertainment, media, sports and political figures as role models.
12
stars like LeBron James and Steph Curry are looked up to by millions,
13
and icons like Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods have disappointed millions with professional and personal problems.
14
Entertainment stars like Ellen and Oprah aspire to our better selves versus the Harvey Weinsteins and the Bill Cosbys,
15
who are examples of those who were once held in high esteem, only to find out some terrible truths.
16
Superheroes, you should just be white guys like Spider-Man and Iron Man.
17
But now we have Black Panther and Wonder Woman, and it's great that minorities and women are finally being represented in these superhero roles,
18
but they are just fictional characters.
19
The Kardashians have a huge social media following, over 100 million, and are looked up to by many.
20
But their biggest accomplishment is being famous.
21
Is this something that a kid like me should aspire to?
22
Or should we look to someone, a role model, who is more inspiring, more relatable, that us kids can see ourselves in them?
23
I believe that kids can be their own best role models.
24
Kids who have no fear to start something that they're interested in or passionate about.
25
Kids who have been on amazing experiences and journeys and are examples to all of us.
26
Kids like Michaela Ulmer, who when she was four, was stung by a bee twice.
27
So she learned about the bees and saw the challenges that they were facing.
28
So she took her 1940 Granny Helen's flaxseed lemonade recipe and sweetened it with local honey.
29
She went from a simple lemonade stand, and now she's 13, has four different types of lemonade, and has them in hundreds of Whole Foods across the country,
30
and donates a percentage of her profits to international organizations working to save the bees.
31
Or Australian Jade Hammeister, who by age 16 was the youngest girl
32
and the first girl to ski the North Pole and the South Pole and across the largest polar ice cap in Greenland.
33
Or Mosiah Bridges, who I know personally.
34
Mo wanted to wear bow ties, but didn't like any of the bow ties that he saw.
35
So he asked his grandmother how to sew them.
36
Started his own business, got on Shark Tank, didn't get a deal, but kept at it and now has a multi-million dollar deal with the NBA.
37
Yeah.
38
Or the Parkland teenagers like Emma Gonzalez, David Hogg, and others.
39
Or Malala, who won the Nobel Priest Prize.
40
And all of these kids were teenagers when they achieved these great peaks.
41
I could go on, but these are just a few of the examples of kids
42
whose lives can serve as role models for other kids and adults to aspire to in their own lives.
43
These kids can be great role models for other kids, because they show what is possible as a kid.
44
But how does a kid go from being just a normal kid to aspire to their own path, journey and experiences, just like a few of the kids that I just mentioned?
45
For me, I would say, just go do it.
46
My story started five summers ago when I wanted the Lego Star Wars Death Star.
47
I asked my parents if I could get it.
48
They said I could, but I would have to pay for it.
49
I was eight years old and it cost $400.
50
I was like, well, how am I going to make that much money?
51
I'm eight years old.
52
I couldn't get a paper route, and a lemonade stand at the end of my street would take forever.
53
So my dad suggested that I put my own lemonade stand at my local farmer's market.
54
I had my parents and farmer's market manager encourage me to treat this like a real business, with proper permits and licenses.
55
After one year, I sold $2,000 worth of lemonade, and after expenses, made $900 in profit, and yes, I got my Lego Death Star.
56
I had such a great experience that I wanted to share this with other kids, so I created my own business where kids
57
and their families could sign up at a website to sign up for a date
58
and a time and a location to operate my stands.
59
I was getting so many customers that I also reached out to other young entrepreneurs to sell their products at my stands.
60
In both cases, I just did it.
61
Mo didn't give up on finding the type of bow tie that he liked.
62
With the help of his grandmother and his mom, he started designing and making the bow ties that he liked.
63
He just went ahead and did it.
64
Michaela didn't let you be seen and stop her.
65
With the support of her parents, She's a successful social entrepreneur, the ambassador, educator, and student.
66
She just did it.
67
Jade, when she was 12, made the trek to Everest Base Camp and was inspired by two women she met there to go on her own quest, Jade's Polar Quest.
68
These kids had no expectation of being role models to us in the world.
69
They just had the courage to just go do it and to just figure it out with the support of their parents, school, and mentor along the way.
70
It was a simple effort of having interest, a passion, the needed cause or solving a problem, and the courage to just go do it.
71
There are so many kids that we can look to, to see ourselves in their shoes, their journey to inspire us to embark on our own journey, our own path.
72
We can see ourselves in them because they are just like us.
73
They are us.
74
I am inspired by Michaela, Mo, Jade, Emma, and David, and I see myself in them.
75
If they can do it, then maybe we can do it, Whatever our it is.
76
Thank you.

ステップバイステップ シャドーイングガイド
このビデオの内容を理解し、発音を向上させるためには、シャドーイングが効果的です。以下のステップに従って、英語スピーキング練習を行いましょう：
- 聞く：ビデオを何度か視聴し、全体の内容とトーンを理解します。
- 文を分ける：スピーチをセクションごとに小さなフレーズに分けます。最初は短い文から始め、徐々に長いフレーズに挑戦します。
- 模倣する：著者の話し方やリズムを真似て文を音読します。この時、シャドーイングを行うことが重要です。聞いた通りに声に出してみましょう。
- 録音する：自分の声を録音してみて、聞き返すことで改善点を見つけます。この方法は、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ちます。
- 反復練習：何度も繰り返し練習し、自信を持って話せるようになるまで続けます。
これらのステップを通じて、shadowspeaksを取り入れたシャドーイングでさらに英語スピーキング力を向上させることができます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
