Les dangers de devenir adolescent | Caroline Liu | TEDxRegents School Youth

Caroline Liu, élève de 11 ans originaire de Kunming en Chine, partage son regard sur le passage à l'adolescence lors de cette intervention TEDxRegents School Youth. Elle explique croire que la réussite vient d'un travail régulier et de la détermination, ce qui l'incite à relever des défis et à participer à des concours. Son goût précoce pour la littérature, sa confiance grandissante à l'oral et son expérience de capitaine de maison à l'école structurent le propos. L'intervention s'inscrit dans un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante selon le format de conférence TED.

• La conviction que la réussite vient du travail et de la persévérance
• Un intérêt précoce pour la littérature et la prise de parole
• L'expérience de capitaine de maison et des concours de mathématiques

The Perils of Becoming a Teenager Caroline is an 11-year old student in year 7 originally from Kunming China. She grew up believing that success only comes from steady hard working and dedication, which is why she enjoys challenging herself and attending competitions. She is sensitive with words and passionate about literature from a young age, winning a story-telling competition while still in kindergarten. As she grew older her passion for writing and public speaking deepened, and the opportunity to speak helped her grow more confident, including serving as a school house captain. Other interests include mathematics, history and debate. The opportunity to represent her school in a math competition and experiences have helped shape her personality. Caroline appreciated the Chinese saying, “Beyond every person there is someone greater, and beyond every mountain there is a higher one.” But she often said to herself, “Even if there is someone greater than you, you can learn from them and become a better person yourself.
