Life lessons I learned while riding the bus | Finn Leong | TEDxBallard Youth

As an avid bus rider, Finn Leong is the last guy in his friend group to ever ask for a ride. In this funny and action-focused talk, Finn shares how riding the Seattle Metro has taught him independence and compassion, while illustrating how important these lessons are for today’s teens. This talk also shares about the impact of the Move Ahead Washington initiative, and outlines action steps that anyone can take to ensure that youth have access to public transportation. Finn Leong is a 10th grader in Seattle. He is a youth DJ with Seattle pubic radio station KEXP, a member of the Museum of Pop Culture’s Youth Advisory Board, and a 2023 EchoX Journalism Fellow. Finn believes that everyone has a story to tell. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
