Age Is Nothing, Attitude Is Everything | Bobbie Hickey | TEDxTallaght
Positive living/disability/motivation
Bobbie Hickey - a curious 16 year old girl born blind, but with a big personality. Having had over 150 general anesthetics and in excess of 50 operations, Bobbie has had her fair share of ups and downs. Today, Hickey stands as a 5ft 4inch confident teen, who has a passion for animals, fashion, adrenalin and has a desire to travel and explore the world.
Some of Bobbie's achievements include receiving her RIB license, (meaning she may be Ireland's first blind speed boat driver) and taking part in various musicals. Her friends and family know she loves to talk so it was no surprise when Hickey brought home the winning trophy for her previous school's speech competition, and announced she would make an uplifting and motivating speech in front of that same school. Remember, Bobbie is spelt with an IE.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
