Hey JAM girls, if you tuned into the Academy Awards on Sunday night you know it was so totally inspiring. All our favorite stars, writers, and directors there to receive awards for all their amazing work! Winners or not, everyone in that was there proved that the key to success is simpler than we might think: YOU MUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!
Young girls in Hollywood are just like you. They face the same issues the feeling of insecurity on a daily basis! Even the most self-assured girls can sometimes lose faith in themselves and wonder if they should keep going or give up. Luckily, our favorite teen stars NEVER gave up – because if they did, they wouldn’t be where they are now!
We think that Gabourey Sidibe (Gaby) is a great inspiration to all girls everywhere. (Gaby is the star of Precious which was nominated for SIX academy awards!) The amazing thing about Gabey is that she really shines from the inside out. She may not look like the average Hollywood star but she just radiates beauty and confidence!
Sandra Bullock is another Hollywood star who knows to always believe in herself! Sandra won Best Actress for her role in The Blind Side. In her acceptance speech, she saved time to thank her mother for always reminding her to practice the piano and for telling her not to get into cars with boys until she was 18! We’re thrilled that Sandra took
home an Oscar – her first ever!
We admire Gabey and Sandra’s courage and hope that all of our JAM girls will take note: confidence is beautiful, and self-esteem will get you far!
