“The Power of Taking Risks” first appealed to sophomore Christy after delivering a speech at her eighth grade graduation which diminished her nerves towards public speaking.  

Christy is a conscientious and easy-going young woman who feels most comfortable in math class, baking, boating, or taking the field in her club and high school lacrosse teams, OKS track team, and OKS soccer team.

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
