so this year today’s have chosen the
theme of making connections and the
connection I have chosen is one between
us and our surroundings what I mean by
that is how lucky we are without the
people features buildings and friends
around us every single day we as human
beings couldn’t survive without all of
this yeah I could guarantee every single
person in this room has taken one of
those things for granted we do it every
day but sometimes we just have to
realize how lucky we are first I want to
talk about our families I live with both
my parents and my younger brothers and
those were siblings we’ll know the son
of younger siblings means trouble and
most the time it does I owe you both my
brothers on a daily basis about the most
stupid things in fact I think they annoy
me
just for the fun of it like a hobby
however there is a positive side to them
I know you can learn a lot from your
younger siblings and you can seach them
a lot to my parents well what can I say
they annoy me they kill my nerves
basically what every teenager said to
their parents I am also guilty but I
don’t think they’re know the
appreciation I have for them so when I
was 11 I was diagnosed with type 1
diabetes
this is invisible disease that involves
the pancreas
I remember the experience like it was
yesterday I spent roughly around 4 days
getting educated on diabetes and my
parents were both they were both there
for the whole time also trying to get
their heads around it I but I believe it
or not they’re not there for negative
things but they’re also there for the
positive things too I’m currently
playing football for West Sam Academy
and playing for a club of this level
takes a lot of commitment I train twice
a week and play games that’s two hours
away I know it’s hard for them because
who must be driving an hour into London
on a Friday no one however I know life
is not perfect
just by show of hands who here has lost
someone or something close to them I
have a no no it’s not a nice feeling so
that’s when I told myself flourish with
them while you have the time and not
when the time runs out the second thing
I want to talk about is school school is
interesting
it’s like pathways everyone’s path is
different and everyone’s path takes em
in different directions I’ve had a lot
of opinions about score two they’re also
very intriguing
however our life’s neat so that school
is good yes I’ll admit it can be a
negative experience for some but just
look at the opportunities offered also
I’ve realized school supports you and
whatever you want to do whether that’s
sport music computers school offers all
of that for example me and some of the
girls football team from this school
when season of George’s Park for the
weekend for those that don’t know it’s
where the national team’s men and women
train and I got to go because of school
and one of my extremely supportive
teachers and that’s the other thing
teachers their job is so difficult oui
Mon I don’t want to do this or it’s too
hard and the teachers do want to do it
and they don’t think it’s hard they do
double the amount of work we do and all
they ask for his appreciation we give
them a hard time and they take you all
on board just but it’s still available
to help us they do it because they want
to succeed to them giving up is non
option all I’m saying is that your
education is so important and the people
helping you get it are there because
they are passionate about you to take
the opportunity while it’s still
available on a more serious note I like
like I said the start everyone’s life is
different but some people don’t have the
path that’s all we have around the world
I don’t have we have people around the
world they don’t have any education
there’s around 70 million primary school
children they live in poverty currently
for them choosing the right path can be
more difficult they have to make the
right choices and this means not taking
the easy option like joining a gang our
choice is a lot easier education is open
to all and that’s why I’m saying don’t
throw your education away and say how
much he’s given because they only come
around once and you don’t give enough
shots of it I like to think scores a
gate and you just have to open it
finally the last thing I want to talk
about is our community and where we live
it’s an amazing place the words of
givenness is just so warming and makes
us feel good I walked a talk by prime by
Brian Perot it’s and he talks about
togetherness he explained if something
does go wrong we all comes together and
it’s true for example the grain
for terrorists tragedy all came together
to support the families and we were all
there to help to thank the heroes on
duty people that didn’t even know the
victims help for example a group of
singers made a song for people they may
have had no knowledge of so it concludes
I want to tell you Ted X talks about
leaving legacies they may not be big
ones but I want to leave you fun today
how lucky are you look at the people
around you and seeing how lucky are you
engage or re-engage with them and your
how was that oh they dressed in that’s
good again same question to you which is
more scary doing out of the footballs
final little fire by far we’ll find that
was where this was easy compared to a
football final yeah yeah okay again you
know please mr. Goddard otherwise yeah
okay is it just me or to have a young
person saying thank you it’s just
brilliant to hear because I don’t think
they say enough maybe we didn’t say
enough when we were their age there’s an
American and guru talks about living
with an attitude of gratitude and it
does change things when you just start
each day with an idea of what am i
thankful for yes should we get them to
turn to somebody on their table and
thanked them for something you do then
go for it yeah turns to me on your table
and thank them for something specific
that all speech it is okay our room okay
let’s bring you back and and caris all
your annoying parents are they in the
room you’ve got some you’ve got some
public banks what why do you think we
don’t say thank you enough I don’t think
we understand how much everything means
to us we kind of like oh that’s normal
so we take it and we don’t say oh I you
don’t realize how lucky you are like I
said like the primary school children
it’s 70 million currently I don’t have
any education at all so we don’t we take
for granted all the things that we’ve
got we think everybody has that yeah so
we don’t really take yeah understanding
us if we looked out of ourselves a
little bit we’d see how just how good we
are and do you have a sort of an
ambition to maybe travel to work with
these children not in primary school is
that sort of I haven’t really thought of
that maybe I am not sure football’s our
way of connecting yeah well you see
globally they will travel as a community
like the TEDx community Paris thank you very much
