No necesitas un título para cambiar el mundo. | Laksamana Eka Navyanto | TEDxCRIBS Youth

Laksamana Eka Navyanto, estudiante de Cahaya Rancamaya IBS en Yakarta, habla de sentirse invisible en la escuela y de seguir normas sociales no escritas para encajar. En sexto grado empezó a cuestionar esa presión y emprendió un camino de autodescubrimiento. La charla se presentó en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente. El video se incluye con el crédito de su proveedor original, TEDx Talks.

• Presión por encajar durante la etapa escolar
• Darse cuenta de que no conocía su propia identidad
• Un camino personal de autodescubrimiento

Have you ever sat in a crowded school cafeteria, looked around, and felt completely invisible? I think we all have. In almost every school, there is this unwritten rulebook. It tells you what shoes to wear, what music to like, and how to act just to blend in. For a long time, I followed that rulebook perfectly. I became a master at camouflage. I wore the mask of "just blending in" because standing out felt way too dangerous. But when I was in 6th grade, I realized something exhausting. I was spending so much energy trying to be who everyone else wanted me to be, that I had no idea who I actually was. I was checking all the boxes to fit in, but inside, I just felt empty. So, I decided to do something kind of terrifying. I started a journey of self-discovery. I am a student from Cahaya Rancamaya IBS. I was born on the 11th of November 2013 in Jakarta. I have a deep curiosity of discovering new interesting things. My hobbies are playing football, playing games, and swimming. The reason I joined TEDx is because I wanted to test my current public speaking level, and to also make it a valuable experience and lesson for me in the future. I also hope that my TEDx speech will encourage others to embrace their true selves. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
