Tenzin Seldon is the 20-year old Tibetan activist and Stanford student. Raised a Tibetan refugee in India, Seldon has accomplished a great deal already -- she is the first Tibetan raised in the refugee community to attend Stanford and in 2011 was awarded the prestigious Truman Scholarship. Though just 20 she is wise beyond her years and clearly on the path to serving a significant role in her nation's future. Yolanda O'Bannon of YoWangdu.com visited Seldon at the Stanford campus, and talked to her about her inspirations.

It's good to have a young woman talking through Tibet. But do not be swayed by the Euro-American culture because they think themselves the masters of the world. See story on what Tibet was feudal and backward, with a people who suffered the domain of monks and the greed of foreign masters. What is revealed in a future Tibet it's rich and sovereign.

It good to see you there. One thing that I noticed is that you have the leadership quality. So put the energy in the right direction not to mention that you are young with age which this much quality which is rare in our society, in-depth knowledge about about our rich Tibetan cultural heritage, You speak Tibetan language far greater than those in exile while staying and studying there plus a Standford students which I am proud of you.

omg....heard a lot abt her ...n now stunned to see her speak like an intellect at this age!!!

A budding Lhadon Tethong but would be ten times more lethal in her thought ,believe, vision if she grows at this rate.
