The Princess Diaries

Mia: Hi, um....hello. I'm Mia.Um, it's stopped raining.
I'm really no good at speech making. Normally, I get so nervous that I faint, or run away, or sometimes I even get sick. But you really didn't need to know that. But I'm not so afraid anymore, see, my father helped me.Earlier this evening I had every intention of giving up my claim to the throne. And my mother helped me, by telling me that it was ok, and supporting me like she has my entire life. But then I wondered how I'd feel after abdicating my role as Princess of Genovia. Would I feel relieved, or would I feel sad? And then I realized how many stupid times a day I used the word I. In fact all I ever do is think about myself, and how lame is that when there's like 7 billion other people on the planet, and..sorry, I'm going too fast. But then I thought , if I cared about that 7 billion out there instead of just me, that's probably a much better use of my time. See, if I were Princess of Genovia, then my thoughts and the thoughts of those smarter than me would be much better heard, and just maybe those thoughts could be turned into actions. So this morning I woke up Mia Thermopolis. But now I choose to be forvermore, Ameila Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess of Genovia.
