What's keeping you from being confident? | Sophie Marrs | TEDxKelowna Youth
Sophie delves into the transformative power of confidence and how it shapes our ability to take risks and grow. Drawing from her experiences in sports and personal development, she encourages others to embrace confidence as a lifelong skill that can be nurtured and shared.
I’m Sophie Marrs, a passionate Grade 10 student from Western Canada. Soccer is a huge part of my life; it not only fuels my drive but teaches me valuable lessons in resilience, teamwork, and personal growth. Beyond sports, I have a deep love for learning and exploring the world, whether through travel or new experiences. I’m always seeking ways to challenge myself and push my limits, both on and off the field. I believe in the power of confidence and how it can shape who we are, which is why I’m excited to share my journey with others.

- 13:34Proyección social, ¿Es realmente una responsabilidad? | Oscar Eduardo Mendoza | TEDxFUCSCuando nos hablan de universidad, siempre pensamos en un edificio donde hay interacción de estudiantes y profesores a través de clases, exámenes, trabajos, lecturas… en fin, estudios. Sin embargo, desde sus orígenes hace ya varios siglos, las universidades se caracterizan por algo mucho más grande que está detrás de nuestra primera aproximación mental: el impacto social. Y es que el impacto social, se puede traducir como “servir a la sociedad”, y eso es algo que se puede enmarcar en la proyección social universitaria.Acompáñame a través de esta conferencia TEDx para que, cuando te hablen de universidad, cambies tu visión y la veas como una gran herramienta de transformación social que va mucho más allá de los muros y que nos beneficia a todos. Médico Especialista en Patología de la Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud.
