“What are you passionate about?” is a question that has plagued millions of people around the world, yet many still lack an answer. Meenu Pamula uses her experiences to share the misconceptions about passion and pursuing curiosity.  Meenu Pamula is a sophomore at UC Berkeley who is studying molecular and cell biology. She was born in New Jersey, but moved to many different states before finally landing in California, where she attended Clovis North High School. Other than studying, Meenu is an active member of Asha for Education, a chemistry tutor, loves to make puns, enjoys traveling, and is on the quest to find her passion! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
