  • Alessandra Pezzulli

    Middle School student excited and scared about the future of AI!

  • Aurora Ruotolo

    Stargazing Student

    I am a high school sophomore who believes my greatest attribute is my passion for everything I set my mind to. I am intrigued by all areas of science and international relations, and have participated and won several math competitions and MUN conferences. I am currently involved in AOSR’s Speech and Debate, MUN, and STEM clubs. I am also a third culture kid: I was born in Italy and spent my childhood in South America (Argentina and Brazil) allowing me to experience countless cultures and meet diverse individuals. Furthermore, I adore reading, as I learned to read when I was only three years old, and haven’t stopped since. In my eyes, reading is a way to experience countless lives in the span of one: as George R. R. Martin said, “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.” I constantly seek a challenge to defy, striving not for perfection but for excellence, in doing so constantly improving myself as I journey through life.

  • Martina Gangemi

    Planning to be a future lawyer

    Hello everyone, I am Martina Gangemi and this is my first year taking part in TEDx youth in American Overseas school of Rome. I will be presenting the topic of eating disorders, specifically I will be talking about anorexia and obesity. I chose this topic because I think it’s a less and less debated argument which people give less and less importance to. I chose it also because it’s an issue I feel really close to me and I think many other people in the world suffer from it. My goal will be to make you all try to have the right conception of it, showing the many ways in which these eating disorders unfortunately can start, the consequences, how they both are similar and different but at the same time I will be offering possible solutions to them.
