Light | Marcus Chen | TEDxFDIS Youth

Marcus framed “light” as hope emerging from life’s shadows—a grandmother’s wisdom lifting him from academic despair, self-belief quieting years of paralyzing stage fright, and friends cracking his self-isolating “cocoon” of screen addiction. Through raw anecdotes—a failed math exam, a speech competition meltdown, and losing friends to digital escapism—Marcus illustrated how light isn’t just external; it’s the courage to let others in and the resolve to ignite change. Marcus Chen is a G6 student at FDIS. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
