Dear Diary | Julia Friedman | TEDxYouth@UrsulineAcademy
Julia knows a thing or two about keeping a diary because she’s been doing it for 8 years straight, and she wants you to start. She believes that keeping a diary changes a person forever and for the better.
-- Julia was born in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. She lives there with her mother, father, two sisters, pet dog, cat, chickens, and rabbit. She attended public school until 9th grade and then transferred to Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart in Princeton, NJ, where she is currently a senior. Some of her favorite classes include American history, “Art of the Essay”, economics, photography, and visual arts. In addition to her classes, Julia enjoys many extracurricular activities, such as acting in her school’s plays and musicals, singing in the school chorus, heading the Animal Awareness Club, planning community-based events designed for teens, and knitting. She plans to attend college in the fall, majoring in creative writing and theater. Eventually, Julia wants to act professionally and hopes to write a novel someday. She has been a faithful diarist for 8 years and plans to continue keeping a journal for as long as she can put pen to paper. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Julia makes my heart swell!
Beautiful speech. We were FORCED to keep a journal for 30 days in 11th grade. However, there were so many requirements that we had to meet each day. I had kept a journal on and off from 6th grade, but the required one sucked due to all the requirements: Must be at least 5 sentences per day. Nothing illegal, immoral, or not school-appropriate was allowed. If I left out all of that, I led a very dull life. I got up, went to school, came home, cared for my siblings, and went to bed. I was sick one school day that month, so I did have something different to write about that day. On the weekends, I did my "weekend stuff" which was also basically the same every weekend. My ACTUAL journal for the same period represented the "real" me more.
ahh yes this is amazing!!!!!
oh wow! love love LOVE this!
THATS MY GIRL
