Dropping Out Of High School For Me | Xyra Sace | TEDxHKPolyU

At 17, Xyra took the risk of dropping out of High School to stand against the education system and pursue her found passion in Entrepreneurship. She later became the Marketing Manager of an Educational Technology company, BSD. She leads Marketing in Asia and will take on the leadership of marketing internationally. She also teaches code on weekends in a programme initiated by The Women’s Foundation with BSD “Girls Go Tech”. On top of her full-time job, Xyra simultaneously freelances for 5 other companies to build her knowledge, experience, and skills in Marketing, Graphic Design, Website Development and Design. Xyra was born and raised in Hong Kong. She was distinctly active in participating in Extra Curricular Activities as she faced academic adversity with the Education System. Inspired by Sir Ken Robinson from his TED talks, Xyra is determined to make a difference in how we teach and grow our youths. 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
