My Life Story [2010 WAFBLA Farewell Speech]

I dare you to ask me what FBLA means to me.

My other life as a business leader, teaching one person at a time the meaning of being proFRESHonal. :D

Thank you to everyone who has shown tremendous support. I have received so many messages from a lot of you but I'm pretty sure I've been able to reply to everybody. If I missed you, I'm really sorry. Feel free to drop me another line.

I am deeply flattered and humbled by this experience, and I hope that anyone else going through even anything similar to my story keeps their head up. Tough times will always pass. Stay strong everyone, and keep that chin up high.

Thank you so much everyone. Thank you so, so much.
Big shout out to Brendyn for the help of getting me the position. :D

[prdpinoybreker]

@magemasher5 hahahah. Yes. Ulyber is my real name. My mom felt creative the day she popped me out so she combined her name (Liberty) with my father's (Ulysses) and it became Ulyber! :D

This is amazing. I think it's a real blessing to connect with a small group of people who become family. Your story is worth sharing. Thanks for the inspiration :)

*hides tissues*

@BrendynTV Couldn't have done it without you broski, you helped me get over a lot of my public speaking issues just after that little talk we had about it a year or so back.

Now it's YOUR story that I'm waiting to hear about when you're all big and ish. :]

moving! what is FBLA? or what u were saying? is that ur school?

[prdpinoybreker]

@jayblaze FBLA stands for the Future Business Leaders of America, a high school business organization focused on helping kids 7th-12th grade learn interactively from business professionals in workshops and compete from regional to national levels in various business-related events that range from public speaking to word processing.

This speech was taped at the State Conference in front of 5,000 members and advisers in the Yakima Convention Center.

I always watch this whenever I need inspiration in my life. You're honestly a very inspirational person. I can somehow relate to most of the things you said, and maybe that's why this video always gets to me.
