  1. W0AAAAA IS A WANT TO TRY TO DO IT ,AND YOUNG BEAUTIFUL
    LADY U DID IIIIIIIIT IT BLESSINGS TO FAMILY AND U .🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

  2. The greatest "OBSTACLES" To Free Speech, A Honest Unbiased Media, Legitimate Elections, Peace, The Public's Safety, Affordable Housing, Financial Prosperity, A Clean Environment, Affordable Health care, Law and Order, and Basic Constitutional freedoms, is to elect a "Democrat" in to office at any level government!!

  3. FIrst Gen my parent was my grandma who was a janitor. My Father and Mother did not pass 6th grade. I did this for them!

  4. WOW, NBC News really chose this story because these girls look white and have all the Eurocentric features they want on TV. Brown/Black people have been doing this act for years. GTFOH!

  5. As a 1995 Fordham alum, I am utterly proud to call this beautiful, strong, intelligent young woman a fellow sister alum. You go mujer!! 🤭😘💜💚💛🧡💙❤

  6. Perfect 10… Brazilian huh? ( i am referring to her grades, I think..) 😬

  7. Many immigrant minorities share this same dream….and most of them dont even speak english or understand the culture…and their kids cant even ask them for help with english homework. Mexican , african, asian parents all hope for the american dream like this.

  8. "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17

    "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:39./

  9. Beautiful lovely story but I don't know who the lady was screaming in the background but she could have shut up at any given moment and saved all of our eardrums some pain

  10. Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine sleepfriendd.Online Brünette und eine andered Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde

  11. ❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine verwohntt.online Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wennh ich 4 wählen würde

  12. Plz, if you know anyone who can stop the special military operation tell them to do so. Let them know that the S.M.O. will cause famine all over Africa and Asia, because of food shortages. Ukraine is a very, very, very important supplier of grain to the entire world and now Ukraine can't currently use a huge portion their farmland because of this absolute madness. Anyway if you know anyone at all who has connections to the Kremlin, let them know this. The lives of hundreds of millions are on the line here and you can help save them by contacting that one person.
    Anyway have a great day and remember that the special military operation has an impact on us all.
