Скачать или смотреть Smart in Class, But Lost in Life | Ivy Chen | TEDxYouth@MageeSecondary

The education system places heavy focus on academic success, in turn neglecting essential life skills. Vital skills like self-expression, teamwork and emotional resilience are often forgotten, leading to real-world struggles. Ivy is a bright and spirited Grade 9 student at Prince of Wales Secondary School. Curious and open-hearted, she flourishes in meaningful conversations and welcomes new experiences with genuine enthusiasm. Knowledge for her is a lens through which she explores, questions, and connects with the world around her. Outside the classroom, Ivy enjoys art and music, where colors and melodies speak when words fall short. These creative pursuits offer her both tranquility and insight, which allows her to view the world through fresh, thoughtful perspectives. Through steady practice and reflection, she has deepened her ability to express herself and build emotional resonance through her work. Whether lost in study or sparked by the energy of those around her, she carries a calm, vibrant presence. She looks ahead with excitement, ready to embrace each journey as a new chapter in her ever-evolving story.
