Please put your hands together for the very wonderful Hatty Sping. >> Three out of 10 Brits have never participated in any team sports. That's 21 million people in our country.I don't think this is necessarily anyone's fault. I just think we are uneducated about the mental and emotional benefits team sports bring, especially to teenagers like me. I would like to inspire my own generation to give it a go and get stuck in with my own stories here today.Firstly, I believe team sports are the best way for teena ...

Hello everyone. Phrases like work hard, don't be lazy, always be productive pops out anywhere. Your teachers, your parents, or even random adults say these words to you.My grandmother would always say which means an inch of time is an inch of gold. But any inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time. Laziness is seen as a sin opposite of productivity.But what if I told you that some of the world's most greatest breakthroughs came from the desire of being lazy. Think about it. Why was the wheel invented.Probably ...

When I was 10 years old, a motivational speaker came to our school and asked us, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Now, we know the drill. So many hands shot up. Doctor, engineer, pilot.Surprisingly, my hand didn't grow up. And it's not that I didn't know what I wanted to become. It's that I couldn't quite name it yet.You see, I had an image in my head. I imagined that I was sitting in a large conference room wearing very nice suits and debating with people all day long. As I grew older, I came to ...

Please forgive me. I'm just trying to give you this chance to have a good glance of my very dearest friend. Her name is translated into English, it means little dumpling.The picture on the left, my right, is the picture of her when I first ever met her. Pretty cute, right. However, the picture on the right is a picture of her right now.Not that cute anymore. Even looks a bit aggressive. However, still healthy and fit.At the first moment I have ever met her, I promised my mom that oh mom, I am going to take ...

Hello. Hello. My name is Christina and I'm from a Oak.What if I told you the healthiest food on my plate is the very one your app labels red. Same berry, same barcode, different bodies, different outcomes. We've been chasing the perfect diet, yet we keep getting sicker.Maybe the problem isn't what we eat, it's what we refuse to reite. During the summer vacation, my mom partnered with a global health company. It was about launching a nutrition project aimed at the next generation.And there was a small part o ...

Good evening everyone. Here we live in a world that rewards certainty. We admire confident leaders, experts with all the answers, the unshakable opinion that we never challenged.And of course the treat others as you would like to be treated in confusionism's golden rule of the analct. Life is filled with questions to ask, decisions to make, an opportunities to seize, but we are rarely if ever taught to think again. Today I want to make a case for hesitation.Not the one that breaks our confidence, nor am I f ...

Hello everybody. My name is Aiden and today I'd like to start by telling you a story. Once upon a time in a land far away from China, there lived a young boy.The boy was fluent in both English and Chinese, but his entire world was in English. The only difference he had with his friends was that his parents came from China. He didn't mind that and for a happy 8 years that was his life until one day everything changed.His father had received an extremely good opportunity back in China. This means the whole fa ...

Hello everyone, my name is Vivie. Look around this room. We're strangers yet connected by an invisible thread of sheer humanity.It causes to build a community, not just by sharing space, but by choosing to see each other's needs as worthy of care. It acts us to act as a part of a team where one person's struggles or strengths affect the whole and our role is to lift not leave behind. And it quietly hands us a responsibility for others but as a burden but as a natural response to knowing.Their dignity is als ...

Hi everyone. First allow me to ask what truly makes a group discussion successful. Is it perfect harmony where everyone nods in agreement.Or could it be something entirely different. Something we need to think again about. My name is Candace.I used to wonder how I could transform communication with interdicciplinary knowledge. This curiosity led me into the world of competitive debate and into the heart of student leadership. But with each new experience, a quiet realization began to grow.The dynamic tools ...

Hi everyone, I'm Ian and today I'm here to talk about a deeply dangerous topic, gaming. I bet you've heard it before, your parents, your teachers, they look at and say, "Stop playing games. It's showing your brain. It's a waste of potential." Right. Well, I'm here to tell that they might be wrong because we are talking about Minecraft.Think back to your very first time no day up. No mission list, no tutorial, no glowing arrow tell you what to do. Just do until you achieve your bare hands.Minecraft breaks ou ...
