Ted Talk #4
The beauty of being a misfitLidia Yuknavitch Ms.Yuknavitch has an amazing life story that will be sure to make anyone feel as if anything is truly possible once you commit yourself to the cause. She also stresses the fact that no matter how much times you fall and fail that you can re-invent yourself countless times until you fulfilled your aspirations. Ms.Yuknavitch grew up in a extremely abusive household in which she states that she barely made it out alive. She found her niche in joining the swimming team at her school which she excelled at, later that story would win her a popular short story contest in which she wins a flight to New York city to meet her three favorite authors and many successful publishing companies. Each day she is there a publishing company would go to her and give her a representation deal but each time she says because of the misfit in her that she passed the opportunity. She does this because she believes that she does not deserve such a wonderful deal. Holden is a misfit because of his ongoing search for a spot in the world. |
