How do we create genuine moments in our lives? This TEDx Youth speaker presents life stories and insight into the importance of connection beyond social media. 

Tobi Park is a 7th grader at Kraemer Middle School, a synchronized swimmer, an avid writer, and a voracious reader. She 
enjoys a wide variety of activities such as skiing, knitting, and doodling. Ultimately, she considers herself to be a CREATIVE: a 
person who produces work with originality in expression or imagination. She also has a passion for philanthropy, which was 
sparked by a visit to an impoverished area in Guatemala, where she volunteered at a special needs orphanage.  She unleashes her philanthropic enthusiasm through NCL (National Charity League). Although she is the typical Kraemer student, from the wonderful 3 year relationship with the George Keys School kids, she has learned that life experiences and human interactions are far more important thanmere grades and achievements. Tobi hopes to bring to her community a strong sense of justice and compassion, and have some fun along the way..... Life is too short to do it any other way!
