A Room Full of Mirrors (Finding Identity in Reflections) explores the complex ways identity is shaped by the reflections we encounter — expectations, labels, comparisons, and the opinions of others. The talk examines how, in trying to understand who we are, we often mistake these reflections for the self. Through thoughtful insight and personal reflection, it questions what remains when the mirrors are removed and invites listeners to look beyond external validation to discover a more grounded, authentic sense of identity. Vedika Rajwanshi, currently in grade 10 at Fountainhead School in the Ardour section, leads a dynamic life filled with various interests and challenges. Despite being diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 10, Vedika has not allowed it to define her, maintaining a vibrant personality. She is an avid reader, painter, singer, and dancer. In addition to her artistic pursuits, Vedika actively participates in sports, including gymnastics, swimming, basketball, horse riding, badminton, and skating. Amidst her diverse activities, her true passion lies in architecture, aspiring to pursue it full-time. Alongside her architectural ambitions, Vedika envisions a future as an athlete, having already secured medals in gymnastics with a determination to achieve more. Vedika Rajwanshi's journey is a testament to her resilience and multifaceted talents.
