TEDxCincinnatiWomen - Maria Henriquez - I Think I Can Do That!

Maria Henriquez is an 8th grade student in the Forest Hills School District. She is an avid reader who enjoys contemplating life. She loves to learn by listening and having intense multi-generational conversations with her family and friends.

In this talk, Maria reflects on some of the possibilities the world holds for her. The more she learns, the more opportunities that arise. She recognizes that no matter what she sets her mind to she can achieve it. She encourages others to set their goals high and then believe in their ability to accomplish whatever their dreams might be.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
