We all have a name, but what are the characteristics that truly make us who we are? This talk will aim at answering this question by drawing inspiration from my life experiences as an international student. Each country that I have lived in, each school that I attended shaped different personal characteristics that make me the person I am today. These characteristics can also be influenced by our personal choices and any experience can be turned into a future good characteristic. 'I Choose to Choose the Little Things' 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
