Friendship, something that is part of our everyday lives but also something which we rarely talk about. Everyone knows friends are great, but when have we ever asked the question - "What's the Point of Friendship?" My name is Summer, I got this name from stray birds "Let life be beautiful like summer flowers", my mom wishes that I could be just like that line, to be passionate and splendid. It turns out I somehow is like that; friends would describe me as lively and outgoing. (But I’m actually INFJ)
I’m an eight-grade student turning 14 this year.
I really like standing on the stage. My first performance was when I’m 6, at the National Grand Theatre. Then I decided that I’m going to stick with that. Right now, I’m a script writer, director, and an actor for a production that has performed in 5+ countries and 10+ cities. I also experienced when thoughts really changed people. We once performed a scene about feminist in an Islamic country. After the show, many girls came to me and said that they had new visions about some of the parts in their belief. It helped me realize that thoughts could really change a person. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
