What does it really mean to live, not just survive? In this talk, Jun invites the audience to reflect on the difference between merely existing and truly feeling alive. Through vivid stories of joy, freedom, heartbreak, and resilience, the talk shows that living isn’t about checking boxes or constant achievement. It’s about experiencing the full spectrum of human emotions. From wonder and excitement to pain and uncertainty, the measure of life is not how much we do, but how deeply we feel. Jun has 20 years of experience in K-12 education counseling and college planning. She has helped thousands of students worldwide to improve their academic standing, and 95% of her students have been admitted into Top 30 U.S. universities. She is also a NACAC & WACAC member and Wharton alumna. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
