Meet Faiza Kayana Putri, an 11th grade student at Avicenna Cinere Senior High School who thrives in the space between creativity and curiosity. With a love for the arts, a passion for music, a competitive spirit in sports and a strong commitment to her academics, Faiza has always followed her curiosity wherever it leads. For a long time, she believed she had to excel in everything to prove her worth. Little did she know, the qualities that truly mattered were already within her. In her talk, Faiza shares how her journey led her to redefine what it means to be a hero showing that it is not through achievements or recognition, but through everyday acts of care and courage. She invites the audience to appreciate the power of simply being present and genuine in a world that often overlooks those quieter moments.
