Sandrlock gives surprise commencement speech at Warren Easton Charter High Schoola Bul

Actress and producer Sandra Annette Bullock gave a surprise speech at Warren Easton Charter High School in New Orleans. Sandra’s speech was a graduation gift to members of the Warren Easton Charter High School who entered the University of New Orleans Lakefront Arena for their graduation ceremony.

Sandra donated dollars to the school after it was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to help rebuild the historic campus. "You know at Warren Easton, you are loved and appreciated and supported for what you have to offer," she said. "I was trying to remember my graduation and, oddly, I couldn't remember anything. I remembered how good I looked and then I went back and looked at pictures and I really didn't look so good. I didn't remember anything, because I was so worried about the future," she further added.

In addition, she concluded, "Eat something green every day. Do not pick your nose in public. How about we just go get a tissue? When someone who cares about you hugs you, hug them back. If someone doesn't want to play with you, it's okay. Not everybody is going to love us. And last but not least go find your joy. It's what you're going to remember in the end. It's not the worry, it's not the what-ifs. It's the joy that stays with you. And I want to thank you for the joy that Warren Easton brings me every day."

Oscar-winning actress Bullock has been a public supporter of the American Red Cross, and donated $1 million to the organization four times. Her first public donation of that amount was to the Red Cross's Liberty Disaster Relief Fund. In 2010, she donated $1 million to relief efforts in Haiti following the Haiti earthquake, and again donated the same amount following the 2011 Japan Earthquake.
