Beyond 75 | Frida Bautista Pazzi | TEDxLas Hayas College Youth

In my TEDx talk “Beyond 75”, I was able to share an experience that in 2024 changed my way of seeing life: an emergency surgery. The situation I went through left me with many lessons, among them I realized how unpredictable everything is, how we don't realize how lucky we are. I reflected on the importance of living by valuing the small moments and overcoming fears. We cannot control what happens to us but we can control how we react and most importantly, learn something from it. My main message is to make others realize that life is uncertain and that we must take advantage of every moment of it. It is easy to take your time for granted. Are you truly living? My name is Frida Bautista Pazzi, since I was little I have been interested in debate and literature topics, which has led me to participate in competitions and academic events. In 2017 and 2020, I was the first place winner of the National Children’s and Youth Literature Contest organized by Editorial Norma. Currently at my school, I support the organization of school events such as MUN (Model United Nations) and on December 2024, in its 5th edition, I obtained the “Best Delegate” award from my Committee. I actively participate in Public Speaking classes and recently had the opportunity to share my perspective and ideas at a TEDx event. These experiences have reinforced my interest in communicating my thoughts, motivating me to always continue learning and growing. 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
