A girl scout's approach to local volunteering | Laura Charles | TEDxMoreauCatholicHS

Happiness is something that is vital to our lives. Equally as important is taking care of those around us. Happiness can come in many different ways, whether it's spending time with loved ones, baking or cooking something for them, or even just reading them a book. Sadly, as our lives are getting faster and faster many people are forgetting to take time for themselves and those around them. In this talk, Laura highlights the importance of taking time to help others, and how you can find joy by doing this. Laura Charles is a senior at Moreau Catholic High School, where she is Co-President of the MED Club and has been a Girl Scout for 13 years. Having completed all the levels of Girl Scouts, she recently earned the Girl Scout Gold Award for her project "Kudumba Unavu Thittam", teaching students in India about the importance of having a balanced diet while teaching them how to garden. By connecting these lessons with students biology lessons, she promotes hands-on learning, a technique that has greatly helped her in her own studies. With a passion towards helping those around her, she is a frequent volunteer at local organizations, primarily focusing on the importance of having healthy food. Apart from that, she is a graduate and teaching assistant at the International Tamil Academy. She hopes to go on to become a physician and impact many more lives in the community and world. 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
