Warrior's Mindset | Priya Vardana Pandidurai | TEDxYouth@RJM
Priya Vardana, a young archer and student of RJ Mantra English School, shares a journey beyond medals. For her, archery is not just a game but a path to discover the warrior within. In her TEDx talk, she speaks about missing targets in her early days but staying committed through discipline and effort. One powerful lesson she shares comes from a school experiment where she made plastic from milk by heating it, adding vinegar, and stirring until it became hard. At first, it looked like a mistake, but over time it turned useful. This showed her that like milk turning into plastic, growth takes time and care. Rushing spoils the result, but trusting the steps turns something ordinary into something remarkable. This idea helped her stay strong in archery even when progress was slow. Through her TEDx talk, she encourages others to be patient, believe in the process, and keep going no matter how difficult the journey seems.

- 10:14Urbanization's Impact on Agriculture | Aryan Sharma | TEDxBrushy Creek YouthThis talk by Aryan Sharma explores how rapid urban growth is paving over farmland, displacing farmers, and threatening the very food systems we depend on. Through personal stories and eye-opening data, Aryan Sharma reveals what’s at stake—and highlights innovative solutions like agrihoods and AI-powered farming that prove cities and farms can grow together. It’s a call to rethink development, protect our farmers, and safeguard the soil that sustains us all. Aryan Sharma is a 14-year-old 9th grader at Round Rock High School. For years, he visited a local farm stand with his grandpa, until it was suddenly removed due to urban development. That moment sparked his passion to speak up about the struggles farmers face as cities expand. His message resonated, earning him 1st place in major public speaking contests across Texas, including the Houston Rodeo Fair for Public Speaking, one of the biggest public speaking competitions in the nation. Aryan uses his voice to defend rural communities and honor agricultural heritage. In his free time, he enjoys building engineering project and coding.
