(Amber) Aomboon Choopong

Student
I'm a 4th grader who is having fun exploring and trying all the things I'm interested in at the moment. Science, Computer, and Language Arts are school subjects that I like the most. My other passions are singing, piano, and ballet. All my interests are mostly related to music in all genres from pop, k-pop, rock, jazz, opera to musical. Not only is it a lot of fun, it also helps me stay happy, healthy, and positive all the time!

(Baby) Chrisjira Binkamalee

Phone Addicts
There are so many things that both Jane and Baby have in common: an interest in philosophical concepts, an ‘N’ in their MBTIs, and the same average screen time of eight hours. They noticed a problem in the last one: how it didn’t bring both of them closer to their goals, but instead farther. It’s dangerous... but it isn’t talked about enough in communities. Jane and Baby took this opportunity with TEDx to raise awareness.

(Éclaire) Manatnimmol Yantana

High School Student
A junior in high school who is willing to improve herself for a better future, my name is Éclaire. As a person who is willing to learn new things in life, I want to encourage everyone to take a step into the life of their best self; and they’ll never regret this decision.

(Juna) Ankh-Uchral Shine-Od

Self-Proclaimed Future Billionaire
Hi! I'm Juna and I'm from Mongolia. I'd like to think that I’m pretty good at public speaking, so when I saw the opportunity to give a Ted talk, I grabbed it. I'm a positive person (well, at least I try to be one) and I really enjoy, well, talking! I want to accomplish many things in life: getting a good job, trying skydiving and most importantly, I want to make a positive change in this world, no matter how small.

(Leo) Naing Nyan Htet Win

A Good Friend
My name is Leo, I’m 10 years old and I’m currently in Grade 4. I will be talking about friendship, why we should have friends, why we should care about friends, what we can do to connect with other humans, and how to be a great friend. You may ask why I chose this topic. As far as I can see, everyone is always on mobile devices and it is getting out of hand. This is why I think we need to develop better friendships both in real life and online.

(Nammoon) Thunnatee Boonmee

Writer
Alright, let’s do this one more time. My name is Nammoon, I’m 16 years old, and I’m an aspiring writer/director. I’ve written a number of books, films, comics, and a few more bad web series. And as someone who could be considered as creative in the media field, I think I might have a say in how the industry in question is doing.

(Prae) Nisakorn Thongparn

Talker
Hi! My name is Prae and I’m 16 years old. Everyone that knows me has told me that their first impression of me is that I’m reserved and pretty quiet. But, I’d like to believe, I’m quite the opposite. I enjoy art, in every form. Whether it’d be drawing, playing the drums, or even public speaking. It was part of my plan to open my very own podcast when I’m nearing my 60s. But there’s just so much that I want to say that I don’t think I can wait that long. TEDx came into the picture, and I was hooked.

(Rinnie) Sarah Roshni Ebenezar

Third Culture Kid and part-time preacher
Hello! My name is Rinnie and I'm 14 years old. I enjoy many hobbies but most people tell me I'm a fun person to be around! Growing up most people made fun of me either because I was Indian or I was brown-skinned or just because I was different. I am a sensitive person so I almost always feel hurt when hearing this. This is why I chose TEDx as a way to raise awareness. I want others like me to feel welcomed and loved so they won't go through what I did.

(Sern) Parin Duangekanong

Dream Chaser
I work hard and play hard. I chase my dreams, keep in mind my goal, full of enthusiasm. I practice having a good study-life balance lifestyle, prioritizing both my studies in school and personal enjoyment such as gaming. I strive to maintain a healthy study-life balance, thriving social life, develop healthy habits and find time for the activities I enjoy. As a studious person, I spend time on my hobbies, activities and interests that bring me joy. Balancing my life in studies, school activities and hobbies, I enjoy learning new skills and keep improving my self-esteem.

(Silistic) Thu Min Sitt

Normal Guy
I am a grade 6 student who came from Burma. I currently attend school at RAIS in Thailand. I love sports, especially badminton, table tennis and football. I like playing computer games in my free time but my mom usually doesn’t let me. I love fish in any form, grilled or raw. I am just an average guy.

(Tino) Disorn Ittiphuritat

Tech-Savvy
I'm a grade five student. I’m ten years old and have many friends. My hobbies are building legos, gaming, and traveling. I want to get used to the flow of people so I can know them better. I'm also very observant. My parents say I always eventually fit the theme even if it's changed suddenly. I’m one of the best in my family's eyes, but for me I don't want to think that way, I'm just a good learner.

(Wendy) Zimo Yang

Aspiring Athlete/Student
I come from China and my name is Wendy. I’m an aspiring athlete who wants to achieve stardom in golf. Although I’m only 14, I still want to be able to do my very best in all aspects of my life. I believe it’s nice to always have a goal in life, something you can aspire to be.

(Yiw) Korapat Punyapongpat

Positive Trailblazer
There are times when fails get to us, I was no different. I'm sure everyone struggles to stay on the surface sometimes, maybe we sink because of studies, mistakes, self doubt, bullying, and more. That's when I realized we humans should lighten up a bit! We all make mistakes! We should keep a jolly body and stay positive, and tackle negativity like a pro! Let's put on those shades and get out there to show everyone what being happy really is!
