The TED story
I knew TED when I was in my middle school. Gradually I became enchanted by the quality and diversity of the event. Recognizing that our school didn't hold such an event, I aspired to bring in new blood. In 2015, October, we hosted a wonderful event and received strong and positive repercussion. In another event, I was invited as the speaker to discuss about "Dropouts" in the global societies. Then in July, 2016, I was happy that I was invited to join the TED Conference in Banff National Park, a wonderland in the world. TED have been transforming my perspectives of viewing the things, shaping the values in my life journey, and turning me into a better global citizen.
