Karolina

Hey, my name is Karolina, I am a Lithuanian student at VIS. Apart from school I attend many clubs and programs in order to develop my skills and interests. I am always choosing between school, my clubs, family, my friends and more. But when everyone else is telling you what you’re supposed to quit, choose, prioritise it gets more and more difficult to remember what you want.  During the TEDx@youth event, I will be sharing my experiences with pressure and choosing what I want to do now and in the future.
