Everyone feels like an outsider at some point. Being the new girl at school is no exception. But all it takes is a simple salutation to make others feel welcome. Featuring Hilary Duff’s song “Shine,” this spot encourages viewers to reach out and just say “hi.” It’s a little word that makes a big difference…Pass it on.

It's good that we can access such kind of videos nowadays. It helps a lot. It is very useful.

It just goes to show what a simple act of kindness can do. Look how nervous she was coming to the new school for the first time, not knowing what to expect. Yes, just a 'hi' and a smile goes a long way. What did she do in return? 'Paid it forward' with a brilliant smile, and a 'hi'.Love it!!

I showed this video to my elementary classes the first week of school. I wanted to teach them how to treat new students. We have all been a new student somewhere, sometime.

I am teaching a Seniors' course at Clark College on "Propaganda." After segments featuring Hitler, Goebbels and various seductive politicians, I knew that I needed to demonstrate that propaganda can also be a positive, uplifting force. Thank you for providing some highly polished and persuasive examples for my final session.
