The Balance Between Fitting In and Belonging | Vera Zhou | TEDxSt Peters Intl School Youth

Changing your name to make it easier to say? Growing up between two very different cultures, Vera reflects on her experience of adapting to life’s changes and the challenges of finding a sense of belonging. She explores how she balances her culture of origin with the surrounding environment, navigating identity, language, and social expectations. Through her story, Vera highlights the personal growth that comes from embracing both worlds and learning to create harmony between them. Yongxuan Zhou is a 16-year-old IG1 student at St. Peter’s International School. Born in China, she moved to Portugal at age 12, an experience that shaped her international perspective. In her free time, Yongxuan enjoys traditional Chinese dance, which she has practised for ten years, as well as watching debates and exploring art. She joined TEDx to share her ideas, learn from others, and inspire meaningful conversations.
