Sudarshan Praveen

Student

Hello! My name is Sudarshan Praveen, and I am a junior at Enloe High School. I'm interested in law and political science, and I believe youth involvement is a powerful way to bring change in communities. I volunteer with the organization CORDUSA as a junior board member of my local chapter, and at school, I am a captain of the debate team and aspire to start a TEDx chapter. In the future, I aim to do something that will change the world, but for now I'm focused on getting started.

My first exposure to TED was through TED-Ed's riddles on YouTube, which I loved trying to solve as an elementary school (often without success). It was during eighth grade when I first participated in my middle school's TEDx event as a speaker, an experience that I cherish. By starting a TEDx chapter at my current high school, I hope to bring this experience to many more students and help them build the confidence to make their voices heard.
