What adults can learn from kids.

     Hello I am Jinwoo and lately, I have watched Adora Svitak's TED video on "What adults can learn from kids." It was amazing that a child went on a TED conference and taught adults that children should teach adults. Her bravery and success touched me and gave me hope that children can accomplish anything. She also showed that adults must have trust in children to show their skills.
     First, her bravery was great. She had the guts to go up on a stage in front of adults, giving them an eight minute speech on why adults have to learn from kids. I did not even have the guts to compete in the YMCA swimming contest for kids. Adora succeeded in sending her message to adults while I always placed last. An experience going on TED is hard for even an adult to do. This proves that she is no ordinary child and I will like to get her bravery and give an amazing presentation in front of a hundred people. I can accomplish that goal if I win in the speech competition. Adora proved that being an amazing speaker does not have an age limit.
     Her success is also something I admire. Adora's first book was called "Flying Fingers" and after publishing the book, she went to schools, conferences, talks, and now on TED. Her success is something everyone, even adults envy. Most people think that a child can not be a great novelist, speaker, or singer, but Adora proved adults wrong. She proved that children can be smarter and more successful than adults.
     Adults should have more trust in children and they should not underestimate the intelligence of children. Adora mentioned in her speech that her parents trusted her very much. They helped Adora publish her first book, "Flying Fingers." It was popular with people and she was famous. The trust of an adult helped her succeed. She also said that children have a wider imagination and creativity. Children do not think about how hard making a glass figure is. Without children's imagination, our world would be very boring and there will be no fun in our lives.
     Adora gave hope to children and she proved children can accomplish anything. As she said in her presentation, "you must lend an ear today because we are the leaders of tomorrow." Children that gave up because some adult told you that you are too young to write a novel or kids that heard that you are not smart enough to do that, do not give up! Thank you for reading my essay.
