How to Find Your Path After School | Amba Brown | TEDxYouth@AIS

I’ve always been clouded and confused

I'm back to this video after 1 year ❤❤❤

I love this speech❤ don’t make decisions out of fear and pleasing others!!!

Very helpful content

2023 anyone?
School has traumatized me and millions of other people...

The school system has forced us to be quiet and not think for ourselves.
As if we are mindless machines.
As if we don't have a voice.

When we get to high school, we have more freedom than what we have been allowed to have for years.
What will a mindless machine do with that knowledge?
Just keep with the program...

I, and I'm sure others, are still trying to get over that trauma and try to stand up for ourselves.

I could rant more, but I'm sure that I made my point clear to some.

I, and other people are fed up with this school system.
It's more of a jail, making kids into mindless servants scared to speak up.

The reason that I told you this is that people should speak out against this generational torturer, the cycle will not stop until someone speaks out.

Even if you don't believe it, consider how it is affecting children now.

The best advice I have for everyone is to do your own research.

Video games
Computers
Acting

I believe we need to get our youth the information they need to gain the confidence they need to make good career choices. This puts them in the driver's seat for their careers instead of hanging around waiting for someone to "tell" them what to do. Instead of forcing students in a corner to commit to something or else, we should be more concerned about getting young adults to choose a direction, e.g., Education, Manufacturing, Design, Finance, Consumer Relations, etc... Make sense?

I’m 19, in trade school for HVAC with my passion for photography on the side. My dream is film movies but I don’t know how to get there I felt lost but this helped. I just feel like I’m running out of time I want to be able to take care of my parents when they’re older

Your not helpful at all 🥴

Thank you! This was helpful to reflect upon the present, being a 17 year old.

TALK FASTER OH MY GOD

You have no idea how much this had helped me in a very hard time with anxiety and fear. Thank you!

This video made it more clearer for me, thanks so much

That part "No matter what age, we are all finding our path" brought me to tears. I am 30 years old and I have finally gotten my GED after so many attempts back when I was still being young and wild. It took me 3 months to finish. I am now trying to see what it is I am good at and what I want to do. I have thought of accounting but I mostly love working with housing so thought of finishing carpentry. It's been a task but I know the Lord will guide me to what He has for me.

What are your strengths? Interests?

I feel like I’m basically being shoved into choosing a university that I’ll attend for the next four years. I have NO clue what to do with my life now that I’m almost out of high school. I feel like there’s so many decisions I could make, and if I choose the wrong one, I’m screwed. Man life gets tough fast😅

I'm still watching this video in 2022 as i try to find my path 💃🏾💃🏾😍😍😍

“Its your choice to scream or enjoy the ride”

I’m scared but I think I’m going to do it

Idk I googled it and ended up on this video so I guess it was helpful?

To me being an Indian is so tilting, my parents want me to become a doctor no matter what, I told them over and over again I don't want to become one. But the guilt of having not to disappoint two beautiful parents is too much, and I am stuck. It would be so much better If I had their general support, but no

je comprend rien

Slowly realizing that I dont want to do anything

I’m senior and it feels like a nightmare ghhhh I want to enter the collage

Wow idk that this talk is really needed
Now it's on my top 10 fav tedx talks list

Hi an die menschies aus meinem englisch Kurs XD

What if we seriously got together to try to reform the education system to better prepare kids so they won’t have to be in the same boat as I am now

I just dont know ;-;

lets all just deport anyone that uses comic sans back to Antarctica

I’m so happy I have all this useless information of photosynthesis and the quadratic formula. I’m never going to use this in my life but apparently I will need for the rest of my life. I don’t want to go to college because it’s more school, a bane of my life. I don’t want to go to school at all but my family wants me to. I know I’m going to move back to my block in the Oak.

High school has NO MORE CAR MECHANICS ,ELECTRICAL,WOOD SHOP,HOME ECONOMICS CLASSES,OUR GOVERMENT DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT FINANCE OR THE STOCK MARKET OR INVESTING DUMBBBBBER THE BETTER ETC ....

Very inspirational and motivational ❤️

im so confused and afraid rn. idk what i am going to do after high school, i don't even know what major i would take in the future but there's no way i will take a gap year. im worried and afraid about my future so much and im even feel so afraid to starting studying for SAT :(((((

As a Student of class of 2020 I never had time to prepare for the ending of the year we just left school for spring break and never returned to school because of the pandemic haven't been in school ever sense still nervous on going to the outside world.

I can’t choose, all I want is to be rich and successful😂

the thing is, i fear that i won't have the resources (money) to do what i like to do when what i am currently choosing isnt the right decision.

i hate my life.

I have a question for all of you. Is it worth dropping out of high school ?

After high school, I bought somethings that was going to be a career, it wasn’t something I always wanted to do or even a dream. While I was in quarantine I finally found something I was passionate and willing to create, but I had to go to the expensive career that I wasted in and today I failed and I’m about to have an argument with two people who I love about my failure.

This video was helpful and honestly I which I took a job after I left high school and during it I would write and create movies that I was passionate to make.

Thanks so much for your video. I love your talk! Hopefully there will be more useful videos like this in the future❤

Most of comments: it helped!

Me: nope didn’t do much for me 😐

Yeah, not everyone’s parents have money to help them like wtf
