Public speaking and creative writing, hitting up the tennis courts, or being under the spotlight with the performing arts, whether it be dance or theater.
The TED story
I was first introduced to TED - ED riddles in elementary school, which elicited a desire for the new and unknown. With a brief introduction to TED talk events in middle school with popular speeches, such as "Do Schools Kill Creativity?" by Sir Ken Robinson, or "Inside The Mind of a Master Procrastinator" by Tim Urban, I found an interest and passion in the TED community.
