Issue #93, 19th April 2022

What do you want to be when you grow up? How often have we been asked as we were growing up and how often do we ask this of the adolescents and youth? What kind of questions would give rise to more discussions? What kinds of questions can students ask themselves, each other, their teachers, their parents, and other adults that would lead to interesting conversations, information, and deep discussions?

Check out this issue so that you are able to frame better questions and teach your students/children to ask as well. Let me know what you think. You can subscribe to this weekly newsletter by just entering your email id here.

As kids, we’re often asked the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Yet, this is the wrong question to be asking our youths. This Ted Talk proposes a new question – one that empowers youths to think of the person they are, and the things that they can do to create an impact now.

Todd Amatayakul is a 17-year-old studying at International School Bangkok. His recent works with entrepreneurial projects in the educational toy field have led to his interest in youth empowerment. Through this newfound passion, he had the opportunity to work with youth in international schools around Bangkok.
