Learning to Love Learning | Belle Zhang | TEDxYouth@GranvilleIsland

How can we make learning fun? Six-year-old Belle Zhang has figured out a system that works for her and she wants to teach and inspire others to do the same. The best part about Belle’s four-part system is being able to ‘connect with others,’ like with her Grandpa, who told her all about what it was like to be a bank teller. She happily connected with her Grandpa and Google, and asked a lot of questions! Belle did her research and went out on a journey to see for herself, by reaching out to a real bank teller. Belle ‘recorded her findings’ by making a video, so that she will always remember her discoveries and share them with her Grandpa. You can learn many things from connecting with others and tapping into their knowledge & experience. Best of all, you feel closer to other people and build up each other’s confidence. By following Belle's four-part system you can learn to be anything you want to be when you grow up. Belle reminds us all that learning can be great fun. Her enthusiasm is delightful and contagious. After hearing her speech, you will be more likely to 'Get Curious, Connect with Others, See for Ourselves, and Record our Findings; as Belle recommends. She encourages everyone to be a life-long learner. My name is Xinyang Belle Zhang. I am six years old and I am in 1st Grade at Westcott Elementary School. I love, love, and love to learn! There are so many things I like to do so much, like playing the piano, dancing, and painting! I also play field hockey and do karate. I want to be a scientist when I grow up, because I hope I can invent a medicine that make people live forever and never get old. There's a saying that I like very much.---"Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Till good is better, and better best." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
