Raif, 13, loves history. Unlike most history enthusiasts, Raif uses history as a form of personal-development. In his talk, Raif cites specific examples of history and then explains the lessons we can all learn from them. His talk will change your perspective of history. Raif Groves, 13, will be an 8th grader at Solanco Middle School. From a young age, Raif has shown a passion for history, especially military. He had the privilege of writing and giving a speech the past three years on Memorial Day to honor veterans at a service in his hometown of Quarryville, PA. He has been playing violin since he was 8 years old and enjoys bluegrass and fiddle music. He plays with his school orchestra, as well as the Lancaster Intermezzo orchestra. He also had a lead role in the school musical. Raif sings in Smith Singers, a group at his middle school, which competed in Boston and earned gold awards in all ensembles. He was one of nine boys to be selected for the barbershop group at school where he sang baritone. Raif also loves sports. He is a member of the wrestling team, and throws the shot put and discus in track. One of his favorite after school activities is weight lifting. When he is out of school, Raif loves helping with projects on his grandparents’ farm. 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
