Leaders are not born. They are made in moments. And these moments, I would say, are the tipping points.It's the moment you raise your hand in class when your heart is racing. It's the choice to speak up when no one else will. It's when you say, "I'll take responsibility." But leadership isn't simply about courage.It's also about empathy and character.

History never announces itself when it's about to change. It doesn't just come knocking on your door to say that today will be the day that everything changes. It starts small.A faint whisper, a small act or a compelling choice. Yet these are the small invisible moments that change the world around us forever. These are what we call the butterfly effect.And right now, every one of us is on the edge between now and new. Hello everyone, my name is Sam Sudakur and I'm 13 years old. Now, let me tell you about s ...

Hi everyone. Here's a quick question for you. There are two apples.One is real, one is plastic. Which one would you eat. Real apple, right.Nobody wants to bite into plastic. That would be super gross. But here's the weird part.Whether we like it or not, we're actually eating plastic all the time. Hi, I'm Shiji Gotcha, a student, but first a daughter, a sister, a friend.

Good morning everyone. My name is Kevin Vasan and it's a true honor to deliver this speech to you today. So lately I had a thought about how such crucial problems are just hidden in plain sight. One problem to be specific, addiction. Now there are addictions that vary from thing to thing. Let's start off with something pretty simple and relatable to all of us.

Have you ever caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and felt like a stranger staring back. Like the person reflected doesn't quite match who you thought you were. I've been there, especially during those long months of lockdown when the world just completely shut down.Suddenly, our routines vanished. No casual hangouts, no spontaneous adventure, not even casual chitchats in school hallways. Suddenly, we were stuck with our thoughts staring at screens or walls.And that isolation turned up the volume of ...

Imagine standing on a crowded street and suddenly a man collapses right in front of you. For a second, everyone freezes. And then someone else takes out their phone, someone else walks away, and just like that, it never happened.He doesn't die of a heart attack that day. He dies of indifference. And that is the tipping point.That moment that's still second when something matters and we choose how to respond. That's the tipping point. The edge between the world we have now.Stuck, broken, performative, and th ...

Have you ever thought about how much of the life is lived in the almost the student committee role. You almost signed up for the answer. You almost raised your hand to say the gamer competition you almost won.We often think changes happens in big dramatic moments.

In a world that celebrates only winners, we often forget that the journey to success is made up of many almost.Every scientist, its lead and artist h ...

To be or not to be, that is the question. The wise words of Shakespeare echo through the centuries to ask us this question foremost. Do we have what it takes to take that step forward and set the gears of change into motion.I don't think I can do this. There are too many people I don't know. It's completely different from what I'm used to.I admit I've had these thoughts and I'm going to assume most of you have done as well. Then I paused to ask myself why. Why does our mind instinctively try to stop us ever ...

Have you ever faced a moment when life changed suddenly. When everything you thought was certain disappeared in an instant. I want to tell you a story about someone who lived through this moment.It's about someone whose life was just normal. Busy days, plans for the future, laughter with friends, and dreams waiting to unfold. Everything seemed to be normal until one day everything changed with just three letters.CML chronic malard leukemia. At that moment the world is lost. The air felt heavier.Days longer, ...
