People lose their inner child because society surpresses them and forces them to act a certain way and lose individualality. People need to wake up and keep there inner child. I'm 12 and I'm like Jacqueline.
Jackie is fabulous. She has always seemed more together than most people. Jackie is a star...in everything she does. That is why she has always walked her own path...and has a great inner strength. Lynda
I think this is wonderful message. There's a trend in America of kids rushing to grow up for various reasons. Some for lack of parenting, peer pressure, and media pressure. I think this death of childhood is directly linked to the lack of creativity in America, including the education system and government. The creative spark comes from that inner child that all these outside influences are determined to squelch.
This girl is absolutely amazing. I love this video. For once, we find a celebrity that isn't self-absorbed and is worth listening to and watching. She's definitely one of my role-models celebrity wise. She's a good person for teens like us to look up to.
Everything she said means so much to me. I still have an inner child. I think people who let go of their childhood have no idea how much they lose. Thank u for this wonderful speech, Jackie. :)
you're a very well-spoken public speaker. When i was younger i use to be deathly afraid of speaking in front of an audience. now i can do it (for the most part) without any problems. i havent done it in a while, but you make me want to get back out there and talk to people about things i care about!
Change happens NOW, your past experiences are just projections your MIND conjures up in the present moment, life situations and the essence of life itself are two completely different realms. The now is all that matters, pay attention to this immense gift, and you will be free :) You are amazing!
Well said Jackie! You know, I think there is a child in all of us, at any age, that should be exercised regularly. Life is precious, and truly a gift, and we need to enjoy it to the full! Never stop building those sand castles either!
I want to go up to Jacqueline and hug her. I am her biggest fan, her optimistic outlook on life is infectious and I wish her all the best of luck in Stanford University.
Excellent talk. Well written and beautifully delivered. I totally agree with what she says about kids growing up too fast and the connection between imaginative play and creativity. Coincidentally Jackie and my son Nick were in preschool together. And I remember Nick building the most imaginative block structures in that school and at our house using far more than blocks to make his creations that filled our living room and beyond..

I am in college and something has felt off ever since I started college. In high school I was able to draw upon ideas from a mind many called childish so I abandoned that way of thought just because I was older. Everything then felt wrong and I didn't feel like myself. This was much needed. Just because I am now an adult in society there is no reason I have to stop fearing how others feel about my way of thought while I can still approach things as an adult through child's eyes. Liie I said this was much needed. Thank you for what you do.
Jackie- You are truly inspiring. I admit, that I'm one of those people trying to grow up too fast. Being cool at my school? That means no more dolls, dress up, playing pretend, hide-n-seek, and even playing go fish or other card games seems to be considered childish. You inspire me and I've learned to let my inner 5 year old out. My friends and I like to joke around and just be weird.. But we've kind of been drifting apart because I don't do it much anymore. That's not worthy of being in the group of cool kids. I too, have younger cousins who line to play pretend. They're way too young to have read the hunger games (so they don't understand it), but they pretend like they're in them. Sometimes we're zoo animals that have escaped and sometimes we're princesses and knights. I always feel stupid and childish playing with them, but you've made me rethink. Now I don't feel weird doing it. Thank you for being so inspiring and teaching us all about never growing up. And for those of you that enjoyed this- search up 'Peter Pan' by Jacqueline Emerson. You'll really enjoy it. :)
That was amazing!! I don't really know what to say that will do that speech justice. Jacqueline you are inspirational and will be very successful in whatever you choose to do. Thank you :)
Can't get over the poise and polish presented here! Wish more young people took their time to grow up. Acting well beyond one's years comes mostly from peer pressure to roll into a pop culture stereotypical teenager. To Jackie's point, there's no innovation or special creativity in that! Great job!
My friend is getting bullied, so I sent her this. Hope this will help ya. :) One a better note, OH MY GOODNESS SHE IS AMAZING. She is so emotional, well...It gets through to people. It helps people to get through things. It helps me realize, that you shouldn't let somebody stop you of what you want too do.
@@kokopixie22 Oh wow, I did not expect an answer. 2020 most definitely is not a highlight but hope and happiness is something we can all hold onto. I hope you're safe wherever you live and your family is doing well.
Jackie your incredible... Inspirational. What you said there is so true, so relevant. It really made me think. It's such an amazing talent to have. And if you're reading this I want you to know I agree with everything you said just there. It's kind of weird how many things in that speech I can relate to. You're brilliant and I'm your biggest fan!
Everything she said is what I've been seeing happen to kids all around me, they try to be older in a way that's speeding up their life too fast. And then they go back and think why couldn't they have stayed a child, why did they want to grow up? They blame time. I'm growing up with them, and yes, I do long for the days where I didn't have to care as much. But what makes me different is how I've kept my childhood. They threw it away and now they're searching for it, but they can't find it.
This was fantastic. I have chihdhood pictures and in every one I had this gigantic smile, Happy. That is still me. The real me, exporing, imagining, and loving.
Do you know the proper way to give a speech? You're supposed to dress buisness like and formal, not like your age. It's about polished presentation, enough pauses and variation and tone in her voice- all of which she displayed. She's doing it all right.

Honestly , I couldn't say it better, and I'm 18, just gave the baccalaureate.
Jackie is fabulous. She has always seemed more together than most people. Jackie is a star...in everything she does. That is why she has always walked her own path...and has a great inner strength.

I love Jacqueline Emerson! She's a great singer, songwriter and actress and now a motivational speaker! I think she's great!
Is there anything this girl can't do?! She can dig, dance, act and write and deliver amazing speeches! I hope to be more like jackie when I'm her age!
All she said is truth. Jacqueline is an example to follow. Congratulations, Jackie!!
Clever girl.
She can sure teach us how to relate to our inner child better.

Couldn't have said it better, Jackie! You're a truly talented songwriter, singer and actress. Never forget to embrace your talents and gifts.
This should really get more views. I really liked the way she said things in that
I think the message she is portraying is amazing. Her voice is captivating as well and she makes the message personal.
She is so inspiring..... This made me think and I realized how much her mind must run. Truthfully, I know how she feels.
Really needed to hear a talk like this 5 years ago....
Change happens NOW, your past experiences are just projections your MIND conjures up in the present moment, life situations and the essence of life itself are two completely different realms. The now is all that matters, pay attention to this immense gift, and you will be free :) You are amazing!
I appreciate that, I just hope its not too late....
Well said Jackie! You know, I think there is a child in all of us, at any age, that should be exercised regularly. Life is precious, and truly a gift, and we need to enjoy it to the full! Never stop building those sand castles either!
Impressive presentation by a remarkable, multi-talented young woman.
This is great! I would never be able to put that into words! Speechless! Congratulations Jackie!
Amazing- I feel the EXACT SAME WAY. I have felt this way forever and I am 25. I just wish I were as fortunate to find friends that feel the same way.
Jackie Emerson is sooo awesome!

Wonderful she is. Just amazing and beautiful and talented and so very inspirational
This is everything I feel in my mind thank you Jackie u r have been and always will inspire me
I like it. I feel bad for people who lose their inner child.
Timeless message. Loved watching this for the first time.
She is definitely a great speaker.

Jacqueline you are amazing and I totally agree with you!!!!
i loved this so much. i wish people could understand that you never have to grow up :) this speech really spoke to me, thank you
That was amazing!! I don't really know what to say that will do that speech justice. Jacqueline you are inspirational and will be very successful in whatever you choose to do. Thank you :)
she is a rolemodel no matter how known she is or how unknown she is my rolmodel

This deserves a million views!
Sie is the best speaker if ever seen
Sorry for my english
My friend is getting bullied, so I sent her this. Hope this will help ya. :)
One a better note, OH MY GOODNESS SHE IS AMAZING. She is so emotional, well...It gets through to people. It helps people to get through things. It helps me realize, that you shouldn't let somebody stop you of what you want too do.
That was an AMAZING speech Jackie, I've really learnt something from it. Very proud of you :)
Holy shit. She can sing, act and talk well. Amazing
Wow, she is amazing.
How we judge others is actually how we judge ourselves as well
I could hear her voice the whole day.
Fantastic!!! Well said!!! Good to know there is more people like me out there!!
Great speech! I'm 13 and I have never thought of it like that's.....
You're twenty now. How have the last 7 years been?
TrueBlue AoV could’ve been worse, can’t say 2020 has been the highlight though
@@kokopixie22 Oh wow, I did not expect an answer. 2020 most definitely is not a highlight but hope and happiness is something we can all hold onto. I hope you're safe wherever you live and your family is doing well.
Wow! This was extremely helpful and insightful. Thank you so much for sharing!! Blessings!

Brilliant!
Jacqueline my Mom said the same thing. "Growing up is dang boaring" is what my mom says a lot.
love u Jackie
Excellent!
she very good at speeches!
such a good message
This was fantastic. I have chihdhood pictures and in every one I had this gigantic smile, Happy. That is still me. The real me, exporing, imagining, and loving.
Thank you!
An inspiration
Totally agree, thank you!
This was really awesome :) ^^
If you lose your inner child you lose yourself and you forget who you grew up to be.
You're an amazing speaker.
jackie for president!

She is a great speaker!!!
Thank you!!
Your so amazing! Your like my role model! x
Good message but you can tell she's a trained actress. She's performing her lecture like a monologue.
She gets it.
Why didn't the audience make any noise? She said funny things and they just sat there.
She's such a good speaker it's a shame they gave her the nonspeaking role of Foxface in the Hunger Games. She was awesome at it though.
I thank you dear father in heaven through your son Jesus christ Amen
I completely agree with what she's saying. :D
I hope you can still do this when you’re 40, 50, 60.
