“Where you come from is always the place that gives you energy and supports you to be a better self.” Through her personal experience of moving to Canada, adapting to a new environment, and maintaining connections with her cultural heritage, Lucy Hao explores how our roots provide strength, belonging, and guidance as we embrace new opportunities. As she reflects, “Maybe growing up is not learning how to leave our roots behind, but it is learning how far we can grow because we still have them.” Nice to meet all of you, my name is Lucy, and I am a grade 10 student from Prince of Wales Secondary school. I came to study in Canada last year, which was a big change for me. In my free time, I play badminton, golf, and I spend time playing the piano, too. Aside from my hobbies, I also like to attend volunteer work. In my opinion, volunteering doesn’t only mean helping others, but it also represents the kindness you are giving out, whenever you noticed that someone needs a hand. What I found interesting is that doing all these activities can actually build a closer connection with the community and make more friends. As I just mentioned, I just came to Canada, so the topic "How Young People Carry Where They're From While Learning How To Leave” really suits me well. In my speech, I will talk about the challenge I have faced, the progress I made, and some physiology that guide me through my journey. 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
