Shiloh Shi’s talk, “I Believe in My Future,” is a time-capsule pep rally. Through letters to his future self, he turns past midnight flash-card drills and shaky victories into proof that panic can be forged into precision. Audacious dreams—debating Neil deGrasse Tyson, hoisting the World Scholar’s Cup—are mapped beside the grit that already lives in his bones. My name is Shiloh. I am 10 years old. I believe in my future. The best is yet to be! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
