Reflection: Ted Talks have been a huge impact on my college experience. I've watched at least one in most of my classes and I use them for my on-campus job as an academic coach. They are inspiring and motivating that keep student hopes up. There are hundreds of different topics that different people talk about in these videos. There is one that I'd like to show to every class that I teach because it gave me insight into books, it might do the same for other students. 'How books can open your mind' by Lisa Bu. "Books have given me a magic portal to connect with people of the past and the present I know I shall never feel lonely or powerless again" (4:58).
