Let me take this moment to wholeheartedly congratulate each and every one of you, today.
You graduated. You did it. You made it. Congratulation to you.
And you did it all by yourself, nobody helped you.
No...that's not - that's what you know - that's what I thought when I was young, I started to really make it as an actor.
I came in, I talked to my mother, I said 'Ma, did you think that this was going to happen, I'd be so big and I'll be able to take care of everybody and I can do this and I can do that.'
And she said, 'Boy, stop it right there. Stop it right there. Stop it right there'.
She said, "If you only knew, how many people they have been praying for you.
How many prayer groups she put together, how many prayer clothes she gave me, how many times she splashed me with holy water to save my sorry behind," as she said it.
She said, Oh, you did it all by yourself, I'll tell you what you can do by yourself: You can go outside and get a mop and bucket and wash them windows - you can do that by yourself, superstar.
So, I'm saying that to say 'I want to congratulate all the parents and friends and family and aunties and uncles and grandmother and grandfathers, and teachers and, friends and enemies - all the people that helped you to get where you are today, congratulations to you all.'
