This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Jackie and Judy Bello are overachievers in every way, but doing so requires a lot of support. They give their advice on aiming high and how their experiences shaped them to who they are today.

Jackie Bello of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology class of '04 roped her mom, Judy Bello, into the TJHSST universe so successfully that Judy left her past life in international trade law and the pharmaceutical industry to become a teacher! Both mother and daughter are avid pursuers of happiness, work/life balance, and a positive impact on the world. 

About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
