The TED story
I first got introduced to TED by my high school Psychology teacher who would have TED wednesday in his form room. Later that year I found out there was a conference in my area looking for speakers, I applied and was picked. Since coming to university i've done one more TED talk and now help organise the TEDx society within my university community.
