A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
High school students are taught to believe in the importance of getting good grades while they often question the value of what they are learning. Eva Ren, a Grade 12 student has overcome her own academic struggles to become a top student and leader. Her questions and recommendations will ignite discussion between educators and students about the value of grades and the message they send.
Throughout high school, I became a strong advocate for student voice in my school and community. Believing youth can make a difference and with the purpose of striving for better education, I became involved with the Federation of Canadian Secondary Students, a youth-led non-profit and now I'm part of its National Leadership Team. I take pride in making a positive difference as District School Board of Niagara Student Senator, and on the St. Catharines Youth Council. I was so excited and honoured to speak at TEDxEdenHighSchool. When I am not busy with schoolwork and extracurriculars, I like to exercise, journal and play Chopin on the piano. I also value spending time with family and my closest friends. Lately, I have developed a passion for portrait and street photography. In the future, I will be majoring in business with a minor in international relations at McGill University. One of my biggest dreams is to work with the United Nations.
