The TED story
I discovered a TED Talk while studying for a bio exam in college, and spent all night watching TED Talks instead of studying. Now I get to hear students share stories about TED's influence in their lives all the time. More than that, I get to support students and teachers who want to elevate student voices in their communities around the world, and explore their ideas worth spreading. That motivates me everyday.
