Text UI erases after new scene.

I set up a project where im testing singletons and DontDestroyOnLoad. Im using a public Text type to show my values and Buttons type to change the value between scenes. My problem is when i switch scenes the Text object that i dragged in for the Text type disappears between scenes. I hope this makes scenes to someone. By the way im following a tutorial on Youtube from Unity, but they are using the old GUI system and im trying not to. Heres the link to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6FfcJpbPXE

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 
 public class Score : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public static Score points;
     public Text myScore;
     public int score;
     // Use this for initialization
     void Awake () {
         //DontDestroyOnLoad (gameObject);
         myScore.text = ("Score: " + score);
         if(points == null){
             DontDestroyOnLoad (gameObject);
             points = this;
         }
         else if(points != this)
         {
             Destroy(gameObject);
         }
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         myScore.text = ("Score: " + score);
     }
 }
