Greetings, my name is Jasmine.

In today’s presentation, I would like to share some thoughts about mental health.

Have you ever felt like a storm passed through your life and left everything broken? That’s what trauma feels like.

And for a long time, we might want to just clean up the mess and pretend nothing happened.

But actually ,recovery doesn’t start with cleaning. It starts by sitting down in the middle of the broken pieces and saying, ‘I am hurt, and the trauma is real.’

The first step is counterintuitive. Most people think that people should move on and look forward, not backward. But if you bury pain alive, it grows roots underground.

The core function of the ACC (anterior cingulate cortex) in the brain is to balance automatic response and rational control, reduce cognitive conflict, and ensure behavioral adaptability. According to research, the reflex area of psychological pain felt in this part is the same as the pain of being cut by a knife on the body.

We need to face the fact that we are experiencing a negative emotional experience

Next ,recovery begins with acknowledgment. You can say to yourself: Something hard happened on myself. It affected me. But, what doesn‘t kill you will make you stronger.

Then,name the emotion — sad, angry, scared. By naming it, you take away some of its power. The opposite of healing isn't pain. It's pretending.

Trauma lies to us ,It whispers: You are alone. No one will understand. Stay quiet.

But that’s a lie. Trauma grows in silence. It shrinks in connection. You don't need to tell your whole story to a group of people or strangers . Just find one person. A friend. A counselor. A support staff.

Healing happens between people, not just inside one person. Break the isolation. Reach out, even a little,

Finally, you will feel that connection with someone who you really trust is really effective in healing for your mental health.

At First,trauma writes your story,’I am broken. I am a victim. ‘But slowly, you can pick up the pen. And write down your feelings.

This behavior is saying that your pain is recognized, and countless people have also experienced it .

You don't erase what happened. You add a new chapter for yourself — not about what hurt you, but about what you did next, what you learned from it.

Healing from trauma is not about forgetting the past. It's about reclaiming your future — one small step, one honest feeling, or one connection at a time.

If you still feel bad because of the trauma,start them today. Name one feeling. Text one person and Make one small choice. The recovery is possible if you try to change your mind and heal yourself.

Thank you for your listening!

Hello everyone, my name is Jasmine.

In today’s talk, I’d like to share some thoughts on mental health.

Have you ever felt as though a storm had swept through your life, leaving everything in ruins? That is the experience of trauma.

For a long time, we may just want to quickly clean up the mess and pretend nothing happened. But in reality, healing doesn’t begin with tidying up. It starts with sitting down among the broken fragments, acknowledging them, and then saying to ourselves: “I’m hurt, and this wound is real.”

The first step in healing oneself is often counterintuitive: most people believe we should look forward rather than backward, yet if you bury your pain deep inside, it will take root and sprout in the depths of your heart.

In the brain, the core function of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is to balance instinctive responses with rational control, reduce cognitive conflict, and ensure adaptive behavior. Research has shown that this region contains a neural “reflex zone” for psychological pain, which corresponds to the pain experienced when the body is cut by a knife. We need to acknowledge a simple truth: we are undergoing a negative emotional experience.

The healing that follows begins with acknowledgment—you can say to yourself: “Something deeply painful has happened to me, and it has left its mark. But what doesn’t kill you will ultimately make you stronger.”

We can put a name to those emotions—sadness, anger, fear. By naming them, we diminish their power; in doing so, we affirm that your pain is valid and that countless others have felt it too. The opposite of healing isn’t the absence of pain—it’s pretending nothing is wrong.

Trauma also spins lies for us, whispering: “You’re just one person, and no one will ever understand you—so just keep silent.”

But that’s a lie: trauma grows in silence and shrinks through connection. You don’t have to share your whole story with a crowd or strangers—just find one person: a friend, a mental health counselor, or a support worker.

Healing happens between people, not just within an individual’s heart. Try to break free from isolation and reach out—even if it’s just a small gesture.

Ultimately, you’ll find that forming connections with people you truly trust is highly effective for healing your mental well-being.

At first, trauma writes your story, and you may feel, “I am the victim.” But gradually, you can pick up the pen again. You cannot erase or hide what has already happened, yet you can add a brand‑new chapter of your own—not about the harm that was done to you, but about what you will do next and what you have learned along the way.

Healing from trauma doesn’t mean forgetting the past—it means acknowledging it. Step by step, one honest emotion at a time, one meaningful connection at a time, you can reclaim the future that’s yours.

If you’re still struggling with the pain of trauma, start today. Name an emotion, send a message to a friend, and make a small choice for yourself. As long as you’re willing to shift your mindset, it’s possible for this trauma to heal on its own.

Thank you all for listening!

The Meaning of Learning

Good morning, respected teachers and dear fellow students.

Today, I would like to share with you my thoughts on a timeless topic: The Meaning of Learning

Learning is not just about gaining knowledge, but about growing into a better version of ourselves.

Every single day, we devote most of our time and energy to study.

From time to time, we feel exhausted, puzzled, and even couldn't help wondering:

What is the real point of keeping learning all the time?

To begin with, learning equips us with the ability to explore and understand the world.

It opens a brand-new window for us,

leading us to discover the beauty hidden in daily life, and grasp the logic behind everything in the universe.

Besides, learning shapes our character and helps us become a better version of ourselves.

It brings us not only professional knowledge and useful skills.

But also cultivates our perseverance, courage and positive attitude towards life.

Admittedly, the process of learning is never smooth and easy.

We will face setbacks, make mistakes and go through tough moments.

But every effort we make today, is laying a solid foundation for our bright future.

So dear all ,

never fear the hardships on the way, and never underestimate the power of persistence.

Keep learning, keep moving forward, and we will finally achieve our goals and glow with light.

That's the end of my speech.

Thank you all for your patience and attention!

It elucidates the profound value of learning across three dimensions: “adaptation,” “discovery,” and “creation.”

Respected teachers, dear classmates, good morning. Today, I am here to share with you some reflections on an enduring theme: the meaning of learning.

Learning is not just about acquiring knowledge; it’s about growing into a better version of yourself!

Every day, we devote most of our time and energy to learning. Occasionally, we feel weary and uncertain, even finding ourselves unable to resist asking: What, in the end, is the true meaning of persisting in study?

First and foremost, learning equips us with the ability to explore and understand the world. It opens a brand-new window, guiding us to uncover the beauty hidden in the everyday and to grasp the underlying principles that govern all things.

Beyond that, learning shapes our character and helps us become better versions of ourselves. It equips us not only with specialized knowledge and practical skills, but also cultivates perseverance, courage, and a positive outlook on life.

It is undeniable that the path of learning is never smooth sailing. We will face setbacks, make mistakes, and endure difficult low points. Yet every effort we put in today is laying a solid foundation for a brighter future.

So, dear friends, never fear the obstacles along the way, and never underestimate the power of perseverance. Keep learning and move forward steadily—eventually, we will achieve our goals and shine with our own unique light.

That concludes my presentation. Thank you all for your patience and attention!
