IBDP Student at Eyüboğlu High School

I am an IB 1 Science student. Although being in the science track, I want to study Law in England. I am quite interested in sports, which is a major part of my weekly schedule. With the guidance of my teachers, I found myself participating in clubs such as Model United Nations, Model Government Europe and European Youth Parliament all of which create an environment where you are encouraged to share your ideas. In these certain clubs I discovered my true passion was and is public speaking. I enjoy sharing my ideas and questioning others, because I believe there is no thing more powerful than an idea. I discovered TED at the age of 12 and since then have been quite keen to participate and express my ideas. I believe TED gives the person a chance to be heard. As the theme Ripple was announced for this years TED X, I felt nothing but the need to participate and share my ideas.

Shifting the Paradigm

We awaken to a world with an unimaginable amount of possibilities. It is our curiosity from that point on, which derives and discovers the potential of the possibilities around us. The newly discovered potentials, then proceed to alter with the norms we accept. So bear in mind, it is the ripple of a simple question, which has created an inception.
