who here loves Disney raise your hat up
okay have you ever felt lost or
misplaced raise your hand up have you
ever experienced something you thought
was surreal raise your hand up do you
have good and bad memories of school
raise your hand hello everybody I am Mia
I am from CIA first and today I’m going
to talk to you all about the importance
of trust growing up on Disney I’ve
always had this love for school school
was like this magical place where I
thought I could belong surrounded by
people I could call friends but
somewhere along the way from fourth to
seventh grade I had this feeling like I
was misplaced lost and confused and I
didn’t understand why I mean I had
people I could call friends people to
laugh and hang out with but still I feel
like I didn’t belong now why was that
fast-forward to a new school I wanted a
fresh start I wanted a clean slate now
why was that again why was being called
Mia suddenly easier why was speaking
English rather than Khmer suddenly
natural I felt like I could just be
myself I could suddenly just be me and
the first thing I decided to do was to
go out of my comfort zone it was
stepping over that boundary between what
I knew what I could control and what I
was familiar with it was something risky
something new something big it was
something more and I thought that was an
adventure into the unknown and something
big had been attending my first
Technovation Cambodia it happened just
this year
now Technovation was a program for girls
only and I’d been interested in ever
since my eighth-grade teacher told me
about it
and I decided that freshman year would
be my opportunity now I needed a group
of girls who could code and who could do
business and almost immediately I found
a team of five girls but it dropped down
to three six weeks into the competition
and the thing was I was giving up but
luckily we had our name already it was
called the square brackets the brackets
on your keyboards if you’ve noticed and
it’s called and our app name was called
teachers near me now teachers near me is
like Pinder but for educational purposes
and it’s an app that connects students
to a teacher as they browse to refine
collection of teachers that they like
and see what tickle their fantasies I
wouldn’t have been able to finish
Technovation if it hadn’t been for our
four mentors but especially my partner
Kelly I now I’ve always had her to be a
little lazy but during our school bus
ride home she said to me with the
serious face on I want to win this and
that encouraged me to keep on going even
when I felt like I wanted to quit and
what we did
me and Kelly we made this deal to finish
what we started and what we did after
that was split the task between the two
of us I would work on all decoding at
the business aspects and Kelly would
work on all the coding aspects and that
was how we persisted into the
competition Wow
after that we did our rehearsal after
that we got into the top 12 teams and
after that on the final stage we got in
second place we will in second place and
then feel at all real as we were
standing up there with our prize money
and our certificates but that was the
first time I really learned to believe
in myself and to trust other people
another time another adventure had gone
on – was attending my first model United
Nation conference held at Northbridge
and the thing was truth be told I had no
idea what I got myself into but I
believe I sincerely believed in my
homeroom teacher who had convinced us to
take part in this annual event so that
we may get a chance to experience
something new but all 10 kids of us it
was we were about a month away from the
event itself and we had no idea what we
were doing we were basically just
yoloing the entire thing and I was so
nervous and anxious and just imagining
the possible worst the worst that could
happen but the thing was as I was about
as away as I stepped into Northbridge I
had this excitement inside that it was
oh yeah it was it was my first time but
as I was about to do my opening speech
all the nervousness and anxiety that I’d
been holding on to hit me full force
right in the face and I failed my
opening speech but after that I remember
what rhymer had said to me he’d said if
you believe that things will be all
right then they will it’s not simple
that I repeated that continuously in my
head until I could let go of all the
anxiety and the anxiousness and the
negativity that clouded over me and I
could finally see that oh yeah I was
actually enjoying this and towards the
end of it as my mom was about to pick me
up I remember distinctly saying to her I
want to do this again and that was a
turning point of a girl who
used to believe that she could control
everything that came into her life and
my point in all of this in saying all of
this to you all is that trust builds a
better future when you have when you do
what you believe you in track other
people who do the same who believe in
the same thing as you do you can be a
part of something bigger something more
than yourself and that something is
called friendship as a human you are
most definitely required to make
mistakes it happens to you it happens to
you it happens to you it happens to all
of us and it happens to more hmm and
after that you have people who believe
in the same we share the same set of
goals and values as you
everybody has their strengths and their
weaknesses so we’re not so good by
ourselves are we we need people who
strengths are our weaknesses and whose
weaknesses are our strengths we need
people who will share the same set of
values and beliefs as you have when it
comes to problem-solving the power of
trust over us is that it binds different
people together
that’s the reason you’re all here isn’t
it to watch this show you have diversity
of opinions and perspectives and so you
can find solutions and resolute and
makes it our solutions to problem so
much faster we humans need trust because
it is the backbone of our survival and I
hope you’ve all learned here something
today thank you all for listening
[Applause]
