From Grief to Growth: What It Means to Care for a Pet | Thomas Jiang | TEDxYouth@GrandviewHeights

Most kids dream of having a pet, but few realize what it really means to be ready for one. In this thoughtful and moving talk, Thomas shares his journey from losing a beloved budgie to discovering what true preparation and responsibility look like. Thomas is a Grade 4 student at St. George’s School who loves strategy games like Go and chess. He also enjoys playing soccer, practicing piano, and creating art. Thomas has a special interest in animals, especially birds, and is always eager to discover new ways to learn about and care for them. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
