Everyone experiences difficult times, but no matter the challenges you face in life, finding hope and a coping system is one of the only ways to make it through. During TEDxRexburg 2018, we heard three different takes on personal challenges and how to overcome these hardships.
Justin Osmond is deaf. In this talk he discusses what it was like to grow up with a disability. Justin not only discusses the challenges he faces as a deaf person, but he also disproves common misconceptions. If you need an inspiring speech on how your disabilities don’t define you, this is the talk for you.
Matt Pond is a survivor of brain cancer. After several brain surgeries, he lost control of half of his body. He focuses on the depression he experienced as he learned how to live a new way and is a shining example of how capable we all are, despite our challenges.
Logan Zuck has been diagnosed with several mental illnesses, including Schizophrenia. He shares the haunting, yet powerful story behind his diagnosis and his life with mental illness. His talk highlights the need for a good support system and calls for a change in the way we see and think about mental illness.
