 Why do you do what you do? Why do you wake up every day? And what's your purpose? My mom always used to say Cane o tideboris Do what you can't I'm 13 years old And it's a Monday night We're in Greece My mom says we're moving to the United States And my heart drops And I can still hear her voice shaking when she said You will have a better future there How did she know? I had no idea what that meant Or what was going to happen next All I knew was that it's go time Four years later I joined the New Jersey Army National Guard I became a soldier I flew here chasing the American dream And now I live to protect it The National Guard gave me the tools to become successful And the biggest challenge I faced while serving in the U.S. Is that I'm away from family But I know that my parents Are going to be my family And they're going to be my family But I know that my parents support me They were once skeptical of me joining But now have completely embraced the idea Of having a soldier as a daughter Here's the thing In order to succeed We must first believe that we can You don't have to be the fastest Or the strongest, the smartest Or the most capable And I've never been the best at anything really But I've always been stubborn And driven by the fact that We only have one life And our dreams come true No matter the circumstances You've got to cut off the excuses Get off the sidelines and come into the field It's go time
