Any idea you have is a seed worth planting and watering so that it grows. You create what you experience, so why not experience something great. It will benefit you and others.
The TED story
Invited by my former student to support her in our first ever TedX event. It was an amazing experience to watch a group of 9th graders excel in creating such an inspiring event. And I'm continually amazed at the challenging thinking that Ted talks give to me and my students in the classroom. Thank you TED.
