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).

Hi :D My name’s Maria. I’m in my junior year of high school (pray for me), and I come from Manila, Philippines. I love reading, writing, singing, listening to music, and performing on stage either in plays or school concerts.

"Going through the unexpected and turbulent first one and a half years of my hich school, I became a homeschooling student and went on a completely different road of learning than the past ten years. These years, with sensitive perception and crativity, I have been good at empathizing others' emotion as well as perceiving little changes around, wich made me come up with not merely a variety of distinctive opinions but also the thought of making some small changes to the society by using those of my capabilities. Since often being thought strange, that all of our uniques can be accepted and every different person can get along well on the earth are my hope and also the goals which I would surely take effort on. Keep dreaming and keep going with you and me！"

I won the gold medal at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. I have learned how to challenge myself in any trials and overcome various difficulties during the period of practicing Taekwondo. Besides, I always insist on doing the right things, which would lead me to achieve my goals and make me be a better person, after I make up my mind. People usually said the opportunity always comes unexpectedly. However, if you were the person who always prepares yourself well in any time, then when the time comes, you can seize it immediately and fulfill your dream.
