http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/112 The 2008 TED Conference is rounding the corner and the price has raised $1600 to a staggering $6000. The registration is closed, although they felt I met the TED standards for attending the conference. I just somehow need to find a way to come up with the money. I am currently studying in school and have been able to scrounge up roughly $500(leaving me to somehow arrange $5500). I feel that this conference will give me a lifelong understanding of true innovation, and help me get into the fields that I aspire to fill when I finish my studies. People of my generation are the future leaders, and I would like to get a head start, and emerse myself in something truly beneficial, and of incalcuable value. Thank you for reading thus far. If you feel that this is a worthy cause that you might want to donate to, then my future is ever so indebted to you. en-us
