This year, EEB3's annual TEDx event will host fifteen inspiring speakers. These will include members of the school community and experts in various fields. They will discuss the theme: "And Against All Odds..." and, through their talks, shed light on some of the most pressing issues of our time. Through the diversity represented by the speakers, everyone will find something that interests them in the TEDxYouth@EEB3 programme. For better or for worse, humans have the potential to beat the odds. The main message of the event is that we should, therefore, seek out the unknown and defeat the odds to construct a better future. In this talk, I will be sharing my personal story about living with an illness that has deeply affected my life : endometriosis. I will show you what my reality is and share my diagnosis journey through the lens of the ongoing misunderstanding and unprofessionalism I went through when dealing with medical professionals. Furthermore, I will share how I managed to push through my journey and persevere “against all odds”. My aim is to inform about this illness and make this invisible illness a little more visible. The audience will learn about the impact that endometriosis can have on one’s body and lifestyle by hearing my own experience. I want to help people see what most endometriosis patients endure and spread awareness on these issues. Ultimately, I hope to perhaps help someone as lost and confused as I was when my health started declining when they hear this talk. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
