Phuong Anh shares her own story in which she lost her childhood to studies due to a single-parent family. "The Little Prince" inspired her to find wonder and "Finding Nemo" to pursue goals. Innocence can be good or bad, but balancing it with maturity is key. Art and childlike wonder can create positive change. The speech ends with gratitude to the speaker's mom. She is a 12th grader at Ban Mai School. Her speech is inspired by her personal experiences and observations of young people's challenges in today's fast-paced and complex world. She believes that by nurturing innocence, we can foster a sense of wonder, empathy, and creativity in individuals, leading to happier, more fulfilling lives and a more compassionate society.
