well thank you for that introduction I’d
just like to give a quick shout out to
Rosa for introducing me earlier I’m if I
start jumping about I’m nervous that’s
why so I just like to see the speech on
the meaning of self-control
the definition of self-control is the
ability to control oneself in particular
one’s emotions and desires especially in
difficult situations
recently my life has changed forever I
can no longer lean on my suit on my
teachers or fellow classmates for
support so I’m no longer student here in
this pot in here in this school I’m
expected to be independent and in
control I have been frost into a
dangerous world with unrealistic views
and limited knowledge of realism it
would be an understatement to say I have
no idea how the last 12 years of
education fit into the ever-changing
riddle I refer to as my life I’ve been
stuck in this cycle where I feel as
though the world around me is evolving
you’re I’m trapped prohibited from
adapting so I’ve looked at my final year
here in this very school for help as it
was one of the most strenuous hiring but
all the exciting times of my life and I
discovered so many new things like my
sky hair high stress levels all the way
anxiety can sweep me in its arms and
hold me captive I’ve learned that the
challenges I faced this past year are
nothing compared to the trials I’m set
to enjoy in what adults repeatedly tell
me is the real world in the past few
months I’ve spent endless nights and
infinite hours looking ways to manage my
time and improve myself during this time
I managed to discover one thing for
certain
I lack self-control so I decided to do
the one-finger student knows to do
research I came to the conclusion that
free main things back to you into my
ability to self control one stress and
my art teacher is going to be so proud
of that drawing
I know stress is normal it keeps the
body motivated as you move closer to
deadlines but when it gets out of hand
it can be unhealthy which I discovered
the sim there is a simple way to limit
stress getting enough sleep each night
is effective
however since stress limits the quality
of your sleep studies have shown it is
important to get seven to eight hours
sleep each night but what do I know
I’m just the 16 year old who during our
exams are stumbling around this town
like a walker from The Walking Dead all
jokes aside my exams made me not only
realize the importance of sleep but also
understand it but I don’t have time to
sleep is an excuse I am more than
familiar with which leads me to my next
point to organization organization and
stress go hand in hand like the cringy
couple in a coffee shop being organized
gives you a chance to manage your time I
personally found a diary works for me if
that’s not your thing
then a simple solution is probably in
your pocket right now or if you’re on
Twitter which I buys you do maybe in
your hand every smartphone in the modern
days gives you access to a calendar use
it studies have also shown that people
who have an organized environment have
lower levels of anxiety something which
is a issue for many for some people even
after doing all of these things like
myself you’ll find yourself at
crossroads and extremely confused asking
yourself why can’t I be in control the
only explanation I could find was I was
the problem little did I know I was
right but for the wrong reasons this is
when I found I needed to trust myself
with these changes free self-esteem how
could I remain in control when I didn’t
believe I could it’s extremely difficult
to try and change your life in a
positive direction when you don’t
believe you deserve the results and I’ll
be honest and say I’m still not
confident within myself now and I’ve
done TEDx to help with that but as I was
writing this speech I realized one thing
I was making progress it’s daunting as
all of this is I’m doing it
I have chosen to do something that will
help me in one mission to gain self
control for once the pessimist feels
positive
I cannot stand here and give tips for
self-esteem when I lack the very thing
I’m talking about it would be
hypocritical of me
everyone situations are different you
could be a student a teacher a mother
but what I do believe that is that
everyone needs to help themselves before
others can I would like to leave
everyone with a quote before I go as for
me it’s a lifeline that I live by
I’m not saying it’s going to be easy I’m
saying it’s going to be worth it
thank you
[Applause]
well listen nakiya
you can always go into a career in
stand-up because you are isn’t she just
naturally funny and what he brought kind
of levity even got a move this works
just for you know real humid something
and I love when we were talking the
other night I love what you said he said
I just yeah I don’t have any self
control and that just of conjures up a
whole lot of images doesn’t it in terms
of what does that look like when you
don’t have the self control but why love
is that you went on to do something
about it what you know lots of people
struggle with the same thing but they
will like own it they will wear it they
will live it this is my problem
I struggle with this whereas what you
did is actually say well this is
something in my life and I don’t want it
to be there so I’m gonna find out how to
change it why do you think you made that
decision and other people struggle with
that what is it that motivated you just
I can’t apply for teachers who would
just moan at me so you’re not doing any
revision because you just keep moaning
about it I can sit there and say that I
was just moaning about it and then I
think what closest to my exams I
realized that is something I need to
work on as it’s not something that’s
just gonna get me from work sound it’s
something you need in your life there’s
so many people who don’t have the chance
to experience different things when they
start and I just want to be able to help
people with that I love your struggle
you’re kind of sending that those waves
forward and paying it forward to that
and actually I always talk to my husband
about you when I got home and saying to
me well I really there’s things that I
hear myself saying oh I can’t do this
all I struggle with this and actually
you help me to account because I thought
well if you can say okay I struggle I’m
gonna fix it then I can do that too do
you get that feeling from her do you
feel that you could actually make a
change based on watching this journey
that the car is taken that’s the gift
that’s the king
so laser judgment keep clapping well
thank you very much in a car
