  • Reece uses his personal experience from his life in early high school to describe his rapid change from being self-conscious and having low self-esteem to becoming a self-confident teenager. He outlines the steps in which he used to make that change and encourages others to learn from his journey. Reece describes his change in demeanour by utilizing five, specific steps: "Find yourself", "Stop caring what others think of you", "Surround yourself with encouragement", "Self-assess your attitude" and "Be humble".
    Reece Doppenberg is a engaging, outgoing, ambitious and determined grade 12 student in Langley, British Columbia. He enjoys public speaking, poetry, music and science. Reece is very active within his school, is a multi-instrumentalist and takes part in many leadership roles within the community. After high school, Reece plans to study sciences with hopes of becoming a doctor and eventually joining and contributing to initiatives like Doctors Without Borders.

    Hearty congratulations Reece .A powerful speech delivered with confidence .Parents and caregivers should give our time, space and a good listening ear to our children so that we hear them not only with our ears but with our hearts and souls .Be at their level, be their friends and mentors,. Make them known that they mean a lot to us .The time we spend with our children , in their play and activities is the best investment that we can give. All children are born with some hidden talents It is up to us to dig it out, polish it with love ,care and encouragement and make it shine. Children learn what they live with.

      I think there's a lot of people out there who don't want to acknowledge the truth that this young and wise man is offering and they feel that his wisdom is not worth anything because he is so young and lacks life experience. It's unfortunate if this is the case as this young man's wisdom and advice is rich in useful information; it resonates with me and I"m a 46-year-old woman. :D

    • @theelectronomer2319
      @theelectronomer2319 3 роки тому +1

      @@gfilip1 that is such a meaningful reply there! It makes me think a lot about myself too. I mean, I'm 15 and all I really love to do is teach people about science, specifically astronomy and electricity the most, which is why I was so passionate as to create a UA-cam channel that does just that. The only thing is, I feel like people wouldn't want to listen to a 15 year old teach this kind of stuff, or they'd say "gosh, what does this kid think he's doing? Teaching? He's too young". :(

      Sometimes friends can be more like family to us when our family doesn't know how to meet our needs. It's really tough and I've experienced the same thing. Even if you have limited control of who you're surrounded by, doing your best to surround yourself with positivity can help. You can absolutely attain self-confidence because anyone can! Just one step at a time :)
