Il ne faut pas de diplôme pour changer le monde. | Laksamana Eka Navyanto | TEDxCRIBS Youth

Laksamana Eka Navyanto, élève de Cahaya Rancamaya IBS à Jakarta, évoque le sentiment d'être invisible à l'école et la pression de suivre des règles sociales non écrites pour se fondre dans la masse. En classe de sixième, il commence à remettre en question cette pression et entame un parcours de découverte de soi. Cette intervention a été donnée lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante. La vidéo est intégrée avec mention de sa source, TEDx Talks.

• Pression pour se fondre dans le groupe à l'école
• Prise de conscience de ne pas connaître sa propre identité
• Parcours personnel de découverte de soi

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
