My journey with TED began as an English learner watching and imitating the talks. TED seemed to me like an unattainable dream, but my determination pushed me to improve my language skills and expand my horizons. Now, as a TEDx organizer and speaker, I share pieces of advice with fellow language learners. I proudly stand on the TEDx stage, encouraging others to believe in their dreams and work hard to achieve them. TED has not only helped me improve my language abilities but also empowered me to inspire others through their own experiences.
