SFJH’s first year of TED-Ed Clubs came to a close with an assortment of Ted-style talks on a variety of topics: even though we have a tendency to stereo-type, we all have something in common—we can all speak the language of kindness to others and to ourselves; the dangers of technology addiction; being tolerant to those with food intolerances, specifically Celiac Disease; playing Terraria; helping yourself and others deal with anxiety; you don’t have to be perfect to be successful and you don’t have to have others’ validation to be confident; repair the bad effects of peer pressure and bullying through your positive and kind words and actions; and schools should teach basic life skills such as how to get jobs, vote, pay taxes, take care of ourselves, budget, basic first aid, current events—most of the information we learn in school we forget immediately because we don’t use it—please teach life skills we will actually use. 

Congratulations to all students who participated—you were amazing! I hope Ted-Ed Club will become a tradition that continues for many years to come.
