Topic: Why focusing on your financial freedom is more important than ever before.

Reason: The days of working 30 years for the same company and collecting a pension are over. The next generation is expected to work in a gig economy. Wages have remained quite stagnant in Canada over the last decade. We are living in uncertain times in regards to our economy and climate and there is no way of knowing what the future holds. Therefore, it is paramount to plan for our financial futures and not rely on the government or our employers to take care of us.

Topic: How anxiety forever changed how I view life and the world around us.
Reason: For most of my life, I have struggled with anxiety. I always wondered why simple interactions and tasks proved to be such a struggle in my day-to-day life. Even now, as I slowly improve my social skills, I still find myself wondering why I am the way I am. Despite the overwhelming fear that comes with having anxiety, I’ve recognized how this condition shaped me into the person I am today. I hope to share what I have learned with others to spread awareness and give insight into what life is like as an anxious person.

Thesis: How I lost my passion for politics.

Reason: As a young conservative interested in Canadian history, world issues, and economic policies, I was destined for a career in politics. It was only until I was faced with the negative, divisive and hateful side of society, that I lost this passion. Double standards, preconceptions, corruption, and social backlash for not sharing the opinion of the majority will be the main talking points of this presentation.

Note: This is not an opinion piece on which political parties and values I believe are "best", but simply a criticism of a system and a society that has diminished free interest and expression.

Topic: Overcoming my fear changed my life.
Reason: I suffered violence from a teacher as a child because of her problems, this caused me to stop being cheerful and from then on I would subconsciously choose to run away from everything I did, then my mother took me out on a trip and kept teaching me life lessons on the way, so I clearly understood that running away is not the way to solve problems. Overcoming fear is the way to solve problems.
