Theme: Twelve O'clock

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

High school student

강민정 연사는 현재 대구외국어고등학교 2학년에 재학중인 18살 학생이다. 그녀는 중학교 2학년 겨울방학 때 우연히 참가한 미국 어학연수 캠프에서 자신이 언어를 배우고 사용하는 것에 큰 흥미를 가지고 있다는 사실을 깨닫게 된다. 이후 평소 관심 있어 하던 영어와 일본어를 공부하기 위해 영어-일본어과 학생으로서 대구외국어고등학교에 입학한다. 그녀의 장래희망은 작가로, 어릴 때부터 책을 읽고 글을 쓰는 것을 좋아했다. 그녀의 목표는 그녀의 책으로 말미암아 누군가의 인생이 변화하는 것, 즉 그녀의 책이 누군가의 인생의 ‘터닝포인트’가 되는 것이다. 그녀는 좋은 글을 쓰기 위해 평소 철학적으로 생각하는 것을 즐기며, 그녀의 아이디어를 다른 사람들과 공유하는 것을 좋아한다. 이번 TED 강연회에서도 그녀는 “12 o’ clock”이라는 테마 아래 우리들의 ‘진짜 모습’이라는 다소 철학적인 주제로 그녀의 생각을 청중들과 공유하고자 한다. 그녀는 이번 강연을 통해 자신의 진짜 모습을 찾으려고 방황하는 모든 사람들이 작고 따뜻한 위로를 얻어갈 수 있기를 바라고 있다.

Seungmin Lee

High school student

Seungmin Lee is an 18-year-old high school student at TFLHS. She is highly interested in Global issues and Business. With the theme of 12 o’clock, she thought that people are going through tons of time sales and making, regretting impulsive decisions, similar to Cinderella’s impulsive running with a 12 o’clock time limit. In the talk, to avoid another sticky irrational situation with a Sad Ending, she would like to give some advice in making a rational decision with some steps, for everyone to be a Rational Cinderella with a Happy Ending. 

I am a sophomore majoring in English and Chinese at Taegu Foreign Language High School, in Daegu(Taegu), South Korea. My motto on life is to face and experience as much as possible. That's why I'm not afraid of challenging a myriad of things. Recently, preparing TED speech is the most challenging task for me, but I'm trying to enjoy it as my motto. When it comes to addressing social problems, people do not change easily. But the starting point for them to change is when people recognized the existence of them. Although my speech cannot be perfect or higly impressive, but it's my goal to make the startig point through my speech. I'm going to exert all my power until I can complete such a valuable speech for myself, the audiences, and the society.
