How Memory Shapes Our Identity and the World Around Us | Riley Tran | TEDxYouth@AISVIETNAM

What if everything we’ve ever experienced, every moment, every emotion, has shaped not just our past, but the very core of who we are? Riley Tran challenges us to rethink the very essence of who we are. She emphasizes the role of episodic memories in guiding our emotions and behaviors, sharing personal experiences to illustrate how both positive and negative memories contribute to who we are. Being a lively and passionate student, Riley finds school one of the special places for her to connect and create vivid memories with her peers. She’s extensively involved across the student leadership board with various roles ranging from president of the Natural Science Council, House council executive captain, to co-leader of the AIS Dance Team - Limitless. Despite always displaying her uttermost enthusiasm and dedication towards her extracurricular interests, Riley shared that she can also get caught up in the midst of the responsibilities that she brought on to herself. Besides her personal accomplishments, she remembers the many times when even a little mistake can make her doubt her entire personality. This has inspired her to look into the remarkable relationship between one’s memories and their identity, along which journey she learns how it helps to establish interconnection as well. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
