Whether that be through plays, poetry or prose. I am excited to have this experience to speak about my passion for literature though TEDX and discuss the importance of certain authors and books which have left an impression on me.

• Emmy Hyndman

  My name is Emmy Hyndman. I am sixteen years old and I attend Castlederg High School. Reading, writing, and music are examples of the many things which are important to me. I believe Imagination is vital to opening the mind. Goals and ambitions, entering a creative mindset, or simply enjoying free time, imagination plays a role in it all. I aim to inspire. Inspire individuals to reach for the stars, grasp their goal, and achieve their dream. I am a thorough believer that if you put your mind to it, it can be achieved. Nothing is impossible.

  My name is James Douglas, I am 18 years old and currently studying my A-levels at Lumen Christi College. I like physics, chess, and playing visually impaired sports like Goalball. I was born with oculocutaneous albinism, a condition which means I have less melanin, which affects my hair, skin and eyesight.
