William Yan believes that people can learn to become better versions of themselves if they simply help others. From helping others, you can learn so much about various things and even yourself. Putting yourself out there in the world might seem a bit difficult at first, but it will ultimately impact your growth as a person. William was born in China and moved here as a child. He has always been very scared to talk to people when he arrived in Canada due to the limited amount of English he knew.

Now he goes to White Rock Christian Academy and he likes playing the piano. 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
