00:08La scuola che hanno detto che avevano mai visto una bambina come una bambina, e non sapevano
00:12che non sapevano con la bambina.
00:13Per me, lei era già lizzi.
00:16Era una bambina.
00:17Era una bambina.
00:18Non importa, era una bambina.
00:21All'abbiamo all'inizio all'inizio, che aveva un syndrome che non aveva bisogno di raggiungere peso.
00:25At the time, I thought everyone looked like me.
00:28I couldn't recognize or tell that they didn't look like me.
00:34It was afternoon.
00:36I decided to go look for music on YouTube, and that's when I found it.
00:41I don't even know why I clicked on it, but I did, and that's when I lost it.

01:33Please welcome Lizzie Velasquez.
01:35And I knew this is my purpose.
01:38This is what I meant to do for the rest of my life.
01:41Because I like to think that I'm not only telling my story, I'm telling everyone's story.
01:54All I know is being knocked down and getting back up.
01:57I'm not going to go away until they listen.
02:03That was exciting.
