Meet Vincent, a thoughtful and resilient student at Forest City International School. In his heartfelt talk, “Lost and Found: Understanding Grief, Healing, and Moving Forward,” Vincent shares his deeply personal journey of losing his father at the age of nine—and how he found strength, hope, and meaning through the process of healing. His story reflects courage in the face of pain and reminds us that growth often comes from our most difficult experiences.

Through his talk, Vincent encourages others to embrace vulnerability, to find comfort in community, and to believe that even after loss, it’s possible to rediscover joy and purpose.

At Forest City International School, public speaking is more than a skill—it’s a platform for students to own their ideas, challenge assumptions, and develop their voice. As part of our High School Graduation Requirements, Grade 11 and 12 students write and deliver original talks inspired by TED’s format and values.
