On the 26th of November, the TEDxISPP occurred at 12:30 pm to 5:00pm at the Blackbox Theater at ISPP. I was one of the 15 speakers, talking about feeding the world’s population. Do you know that there will be about 9 billion people on earth in 2050? This would make it harder to feed everyone! This problem is really interesting to me, which is why I chose to share about this topic with the audiences.
In order to stand up on the stage talking, I did a lot of work before the event actually started. Those things include researching, writing and practicing the speech. This topic is actually connected to one of the topics for my MUN committee, so I used some of that information. My favorite part of the speech was in the last part, where I said: “Please try to cut down your food waste, if you want your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to have enough nourishing food to eat.” I think this is a very strong line that people can relate to.
Going up to talk on the stage wasn’t easy, and it was scary. There were some problems as I went up there, like I couldn’t remember a small part of my speech. But, I think I did very well, because I reflected back to the past year, when I think I couldn’t do something like this. This is an opportunity for me to practice my presentation skill, which a very important one.
