Find a hobby which provokes you to be a better and more creative person, and you will be happy. This is a recipe by the Polish 10th grader living in Bulgaria as a part of the expat community, Maria Krajewska. Less than a year before delivering this talk she discovered that cosplay (portmanteau from costume and play) is exactly this for her: a hobby from which to learn and be inspired. See if her enthusiasm doesn't get you too! A student in 10th grade, Warsaw-born Maria has already lived in a number of cities, including Baku, Varna and now Sofia. She loves learning new languages so currently she’s trying her best at Spanish, Bulgarian and Swedish. Less than a year ago she discovered the world of cosplay – an adventure which has not only sparked her curiosity and creativity, but it has helped her become more confident. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
