Once driven by others’ expectations and comparison, Quỳnh Như spent years chasing achievements without truly understanding her purpose. But through exploration, reflection, and a bold shift in direction, she found her passion—and the courage to embrace change. At TEDxVinschoolSmartCity, she’ll take the stage with “Lost, Found, and Unwavering,” a talk that traces her journey of self-discovery. In it, she redefines what it means to be unwavering—not as rigid persistence, but as the strength to grow, pivot, and begin again. Le Quynh Nhu is an 11-grader from Vinschool Smart City This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
