Listen to Meghan's raw and genuine talk about her experiences with having Asian parents. Be ready to listen to unique personal stories she has to share. She leaves no Asian stereotype unturned and will make sure you have a laugh while you're watching. Meghan is a freshman at Montgomery High School. Learning beyond her academics is her passion- whether it is doing 4 years of robotics and consistently going to state competitions or sending an experiment to the International Space Station to explore microgravity. Above all, Meghan enjoys spreading all her knowledge to her community, which she does both by mentoring kids in programming and by working at Kumon. Meghan has realized that her Indian parents' expectations for her are a lot different than the expectations of other non-Immigrant parents. She asks the question "Is this an opportunity for us to learn more at an age where we can learn more or is it just added stress on top of an already stressful academic life? Will their expectations for us help guide us to a better future or will their pressures end up putting us behind?" 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
