Pause, Reflect, and Assess: The Influence of Our Environment | Ajnas Ahmed | TEDxWasedaU
Have you ever wondered about what makes you, “you”? Is it the people around you? Is it where you live? Is it what you love? In fact, the answer is everything. All these factors create the environment you surround yourself in, which builds up who you are. With this in mind, our speaker Ajnas Ahmed, who is now a 4th year student at APU, will give an insightful speech focusing on the effect of your surroundings. With great examples from his own experience of living in multicultural homes, he will delve into the importance of being aware about the place you are in right now. His talk will surely open up your horizons about self-reflection in a new way. Learning about yourself provides a great opportunity for you to care about yourself as well as others, so we hope to give everyone an opportunity to start opening up your “care compass” with this talk.
