Overcoming Challenges and Building Resilience | Bach Tran | TEDxSISS Youth
In a world full of pressure and change, how we think and what we value truly matter. This presentation explores how developing a “lion mentality” – being confident, adaptable, and strong – can help us overcome challenges. By understanding our strengths, embracing change, and committing to growth, we can take the first step toward success and make a meaningful impact. Bach Tran (Pete) is a Year 8 student at Sydney School. Known for his strong commitment to learning, Bach consistently strives for academic excellence and pushes himself to achieve high results. He is also an active participant in school life, often taking the lead in events and contributing with enthusiasm to various activities. As a standout student, Bach is excited to share his personal journey and reflections through TEDxSISS Youth 2025, hoping to inspire others with his experiences of growth, resilience, and self-discovery.
