Kimse Ear

Student

I’m Ear Kimse. You can always spot me on the weekends at debate competitions debating vigorously round after round. It's easy to spot me on stage because I'm usually always the smallest person on the podium. However, it wasn’t always like this; I used to fear the crowd and the stage more than anything, especially what they thought of me. Now, the kid who feared the stage will be giving a Ted Talk.

As a 14 year old, it’s hard being taken seriously in a variety of situations. Growing up being scared is crucial yet a reward. All of the mistakes are a puzzle and result of who I am today, and I am more than grateful and hope that I can inspire teenagers or kids to make impacts for themselves and the society.

Sreypich Ung

Student

I’m Pich. A former national debate team for Cambodia, and two-time national public speaking champion (NSPC & CamDEBATE). A fun fact about me is that I used to be quite a shy kid back in elementary but when I entered middle school, I made a shift. I started joining into more clubs outside school, volunteering and competing in competitions and that’s when I found my passion to inspire others and speak out my mind.
