There's no greater freedom than finding your purpose, says education advocate Ashweetha. Born to a poor family in rural India, she didn't let the social norms of her community stifle her dreams and silence her voice. In this personal talk, she shares how she found self-worth through education -- and how she's working to empower other rural youth to explore their potential. "All of us are born into a reality that we blindly accept -- until something awakens us and a new world opens up," she says.
