My name is Latishia Watkins and I would like Oprah Winfrey to be my commencement speaker for the 2014 graduating class of Ringling College of Art and Design. Throughout my whole life Oprah has been an inspiration. She has shared the good and bad things that have happened in her life, always encouraging others and forcing us to reflect on our own lives, embracing the experiences because it made us who we are today. She always tells us to live life positively, to take it all in day by day. I believe she has seen a lot of things in her life and has so much wisdom and inspiration that she would like to share with everyone and I would like to hear what she has to say. I have already sent her a letter but with your signatures I would like to show Oprah that we do care about what she has to say and would really appreciate seeing her. Thank you. -Latishia (Lala) Watkins Graphic and Interactive Communications Major

She has been such an inspiration to me since I was a kid. Watching her at graduation would honestly make the whole degree feel worth it.
