TEDxNextGenerationAshville 2010: Walking A Mile In My Shoes by Estella Cumberford
Geschreven op 5-10-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Gezondheid
Estella Ray Cumberford was born in California in 1991 and 6 months later moved with her parents to Southwest Colorado. Consequently, her first memories and her way of life were greatly informed by the sheer power and beauty of the grand mountains and sage-dotted red rock mesas of that region. When she was 5, her family moved again to Western North Carolina.
Although she has never stopped thinking of the West as her heart home, she’s lived in the beautiful Blue Ridge ever since, beginning her “formal” education as well as learning to play the harp in this region. Deeply involved with the homeschool community in Asheville, Estella did not attend a public school until 5th and 6th grade, after which, she continued homeschooling and distance learning all the way through highschool. Throughout these years, she embraced steady passions for many forms of art, music, travel, horses, nature, reading, leather-tooling, ballroom dancing, friendships, barefooting, stargazing, baking, photography, and many more. She is currently looking forward to attending the School of Design for Digital Art and Design at Writtle College in England for three years, beginning September 20th 2010!
