Единственная девушка в комнате | Ботахангуа Батчулуун | TEDxShildeg School Youth

Ботахангуа Батчулуун рассказывает о том, каково быть единственной девушкой среди участников математических соревнований и на футбольном поле. По её мысли, знания, наставничество и поддержка, полученные от других, накладывают обязанность передавать их девушкам, которые придут следом. Спортивные и STEM-достижения представлены как инструмент поддержки других, а не как личные трофеи. Видео — выступление на TEDx, организованном независимо местным сообществом.

• Опыт единственной девушки на олимпиадах по математике и на футбольном поле
• Передача знаний, наставничества и поддержки
• Достижения как инструмент помощи другим

When you are the only girl in a room full of male math competitors, it is easy to view your position as an isolating anomaly or a burden to carry alone. However, privilege and responsibility live on two sides of the same coin. Every piece of knowledge, mentorship, and encouragement you receive from those who paved the way becomes a signal for what you must give forward. That same principle plays out on the football pitch. Step into a game as the only girl on the field, and you quickly learn that progress is never a solitary effort. It relies entirely on receiving a hard pass, trusting your teammates. Holding onto the ball for too long stalls the play, just as keeping academic space for oneself creates a dead end. Knowledge, like a well-timed pass, is not a finite resource to be guarded; it is a spark that multiplies when shared. When we treat our achievements in sports and STEM not as personal trophies, but as tools to uplift others, we bridge the gap between individual success and collective empowerment. The ultimate goal of receiving a seat at the table or a spot on the pitch is to ensure that no girl who comes after you ever has to stand in that room alone. Botakhangua is an olympiad participant, soccer player, researcher, and a poet. Moving between competitive mathematics, athletics, and creative writing, her work centers on resilience and community. She is passionate about breaking stereotypes and creating space for girls to pursue whatever interests them without any limits.
