As I have missed most of the opportunities last year, I have made my decision to make them up this year, and that is what I did. I was patiently anticipating the announcement for the TedTalk PassionFlash and participate in this great competition to reveal for the first time in front of people my passion towards the piano by playing a small piece of Titanic theme right at the start of 'my presentation; I named my topic ''The Keys to The Brain''.
My passion to learn playing on piano started long time ago but I did not have the chance to start it until six months ago though I was successfully able to learn by myself by YouTube only! Because I love the melodic sounds that it come with it, I feel as though it is a language I can express through my fingertips which the touch of the little piano keys, like neurones in the brain making new connections and pathways just by continuous repetition and learning that new skill which is absolutely magical and fascinating to know what is going on behind the scenes just by sitting on that chair and starting to play with full emotions and passion!
I have only won this competition because my aim was to show the real meaning of having a passion infused with my current scientific education in an entertaining way! I was the winner because of the support that I have received from the organisers, module leaders and my lectures or in other words “My second family” that embraced my talent and my passion warmly, as well as the audience that voted for me and engaged with my presentation. I want to thank every single one of them for believing in me and my musical scientific passion. I do strongly recommend and encourage everyone to get involved and share their passion, it is a chance to prove who you truly are to other people and explore your hidden talents that you will be immensely proud of and impressed by your newly unlocked skills and abilities. I have gained a lot of confidence just from eight minutes presentation combining my piano with my science attraction in an entertaining and interesting way!
