Adora Svitak has authored three books taught over 400 schools and classrooms worldwide, received the NEA Foundation’s Award for Outstanding Service to Public Education, and presented at TED. She is also the curator of the student-led TEDxRedmond conference.
She champions a wide variety of causes, including literacy, student voice, and fighting world hunger. Yet what probably really sets her apart from average Huffington Post readers is her inadvertent ability to produce a surprisingly loud belch for one of such small stature…usually in a convenient public area.
Years of writing, teaching, and giving speeches might seem like enough for anyone, but Adora has maintained that she doesn’t plan on retiring soon. The 13-year-old still has decades to go.
