Culture Shock: the Educational Adventure | Shiyi Ji | TEDxMoreauCatholicHS

As an international student studying in America, Shiyi has experienced the highs, lows and everything in between. Her new life has challenged her but she has grown so much and learned so much about herself. In this passionate talk, Shiyi shares her story, the true experiences of culture shock, and encourages others to study abroad.
Shiyi Ji is a senior at Moreau Catholic High School and an incoming freshman at New York University. She is the founder of Moreau Art Club and the president of ISP council. She has been devoting herself at an organization called Ark Under The Sky, helping children from an AIDS village in Hubei, China. While the organization provides summer camp opportunities in major cities throughout China, Shiyi manages the organization's internet account, designs group logos, supports children's education, and educates the public to reduce discrimination. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
