I'm passionate about
mangoes. And anything else that crosses my mind. I'm an easily excitable person, and I commit myself to things that make me happy (like music, theatre, research, cooking, painting, writing, eating, watching TED Talks...). Oftentimes, that leads me to have little time on my hands, because I fill it up with things I love the most!
The TED story
My high school hosted its third TEDx Conference last year, when I was a sophomore. I jumped on the opportunity to write a talk about the ethical dilemmas behind bionic limbs and organs. This year, my friend Annie and I are organizing our event, and we do so with enthusiasm and passion! We are eager to help our peers share their ideas and to provide them with this amazing opportunity.
