獨一無二的節奏/Find your own rhythm in life | 蔡守恩 TSAI, SHOU EN | TEDxMingdao HS Youth
蔡守恩的故事跨越體制教育、自學與技職，他的經歷不只是旅程，更是提醒聽者思考如何在生活中找到節奏與方向。自學期間，他走訪菲律賓多座島嶼，從水上運動中學會專注與面對挑戰的態度；高一前往澳洲 Adelaide 參與藝穗節實習，並在暑假赴美國加州加入夏威夷青少年水上運動隊的訓練，讓他逐步理解如何把握機會、調整步伐。
他也曾參與文化交流、媒體拍攝與中輟生陪伴計畫，從中看見影響他人的力量。透過這場分享，守恩希望引導聽者從他的經驗中思考：如何在變動中保持穩定？如何在每個階段重新定位自己？他的故事將帶給聽者實用而清晰的啟發。Sean’s path through mainstream education, homeschooling, and vocational training offers listeners a chance to reflect on how one finds direction and balance. During his homeschooling years, he traveled to several islands in the Philippines to learn water sports, developing focus and resilience. In his first year of high school, he interned at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia and later joined the Hawaii Youth Water Sports Team’s training program in California, experiences that taught him to seize opportunities and adjust his pace.
He has also taken part in cultural exchange projects, media features, and youth coaching programs, gradually recognizing his ability to influence others. Through this talk, Sean hopes listeners will consider how to stay steady in uncertainty, how to reposition themselves at different stages, and how to move forward with clarity. His journey offers practical insights for anyone seeking their own rhythm in life.蔡守恩｜用興趣堆疊生活的高中生！

我將分享如何找到屬於自己的生活節奏與風格。Sean Tsai ｜ A High School Student Who Builds Life Through Passion
I am currently studying in the Department of Tourism at Mingdao Vocational High School. Growing up by the sea, I developed a love for surfing and water activities. I also enjoy playing the djembe, cajón, and guitar, as well as skateboarding and making handmade pizzas. These seemingly unrelated interests together shape the rhythm and color of my life.
In my sharing, I will talk about how to discover and create one’s own pace and style of living. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
