To everyone who has ever worried about what others would think. In her talk, Emily explains the true reason we are constantly plagued by the insecurity and self-doubt regarding our appearance. In just a few minutes, she shows us that the power in the three words “I don’t care” is far more extraordinary than we realize. Emily is a Grade 9 student seriously addicted to writing, crocheting, and reading. She loves cats and has spent five years begging her parents for one, to no avail. Within the fourteen years of her life, she has played four volleyball positions, transferred to three schools, and lived on two continents. She also plays guitar. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
