The Power of Stories in Shaping our Life’s Choices | Shirley Yang | TEDxYouth@AbbeyParkHS

Shirley will be investigating the transformative power of stories in shaping our life’s choices. Inspired by her parents and passionate about STEM and supporting others, Shirley can’t wait to offer novel insight into how we make decisions. Meet Shirley Yang, a Grade 9 student at Abbey Park High School! She will be discussing the decision-making process and how it can connect to the way we understand others and ourselves. Salman Khan, the founder of Khan Academy and an active figure in education, is a great role model for Shirley. Although she is greatly inspired by his professional success in providing access to educational sources for millions, Shirley finds his personal story quite remarkable. His story of becoming successful when coming from a household where he faced many obstacles is also quite similar to the challenges that Shirley has faced. Shirley believes she has something valuable to share with the people around her and is extremely passionate about making a difference and challenging herself to grow as a public speaker. She hopes the audience will learn to recognize and listen to the perspective of others and understand how being compassionate and informed is greatly beneficial. 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
