WHO TAUGHT YOU WHAT TO BECOME? | Kinanti Sakalaguna Prasetyo | TEDxCRIBS Youth

A student at Cahaya Rancamaya, an elite boarding school, reflects on who shapes young people into the adults they become and whether the path others expect is the one they should follow. The talk contrasts generations of students prepared to become doctors, lawyers or engineers with the idea of finding a personal definition of success. The speaker, who has a passion for movies, books and storytelling, is interested in individuality and the expectations placed on young people. The talk was given at an independently organized TEDx event that follows the TED conference format. It is presented by TEDx Talks and was shared on searchvideo.org with credit to the original provider.

What if... the person you were meant to become isn't the person everyone expects you to be? Who shaped us into the people we want to be? Now I want you guys to think about it for a moment. Then, picture this. An elite boarding school. Generations of students prepared to become doctors, lawyers, even engineers — people who will eventually become somebody. A student at Cahaya Rancamaya with a passion for movies, books, and storytelling. She is curious about individuality, success, and the expectations society places on young people. After an unsuccessful attempt to join TEDx in Grade 10, she tried again the following year and earned a place in the program. Through her TEDx talk, she hopes to challenge conventional definitions of success and encourage others to discover their own paths to fulfillment.
