Caroline Casey was the speaker of this TED talk. She spoke about the challenges that she faced from the moment she turned 17 and discovered that she was legally blind. Her story was a personal story and she used this to capture her audience’s attention. Her story was so inspirational in the sense that she started off as just a normal human being, completely content with her life and the life turned her upside down, but she turned everything around and created an amazing and successful life for herself. Caroline Casey knew her whole life what she wanted to do she wanted to be the adventurous girl. She wanted to be Mogly from The Jungle Book and she was so determined that this was going to be the path of her life. Life gave her challenges but she found a way to accomplish her dreams. Her story and the determination allowed so many other people to be able to see. She explained that on her trip on the back of an elephant across India she raised enough money for 6000 Cataract surgeries. I took away from this video that you can never let the challenges that life presents you get in your way or effect who you are. This matter because the world is losing its determination to fulfill its dreams. Human beings are just following the tide. They have no goals in life. This video teaches that you must always follow your dreams because it is part of who you are and it shapes who you become later in your life. You must always have goals so that you have vision for yourself. And you must always be true to who you are and what you are because nothing that you ever do will change that.
