Belief In Yourself- TED talk 2- Period 2

As my first TED talk that I decided to view on my own I watched Caroline Casey: Looking past Limits. At the age of 17 Caroline discovered that she was and always has been legally blind. She refused to let that take her down and powered through 11 years of learning and trying to find the carrier that was best for her. One day on a run she broke and no longer knew what to do with her life, when she suddenly decided that she want to be like Mowgli from the Jungle Book. She then rode and elephant across India, raised money for eye surgeries, and started many new charities. Believing in yourself is what mattered to Caroline Casey. She could no see the world around her but lived like she could every single twist and turn. As a teenager in the average American high school find who I want to be, what I want to be, and believing in myself, is something of a challenge. There is no way to know who I want to be if I don't know who I am. It is a major point of the TED talk that all people no matter who they are should not be limited, and much too often we are. Being in High School there is limits everywhere, the "you can't do that" "you are not good enough for them, or him, or her" and the "no way you are ever going to succeed in that". Limits should no stop people, limits should only challenge people to go further and do better and believe in themselves. No person, not me, not you, not anyone is limited and everyone can be every single part of themselves. That's what Caroline taught me, that's what I took away from the inspirational TED talk from a blind woman who spoke well, and commanded that stage even though she could not see where she was or how far from the edge she was. She believed in herself and created something beautiful and inspirational, it's all about believing in yourself.
