Some children of immigrants choose to retain their original culture while others choose to embrace American culture. Join Shivansh Srivastava as he tells his own story of assimilating while offering advice on how all of us can help immigrants retain their identity. Shivansh Srivastava is a junior at Catalina Foothills High School in Tucson. He is an honors student as well as a youth community leader working with numerous charity organizations to help the under-served community, including the homeless, orphans, and refugees. Shivansh is the founder of Saraswati Vihar, a Sunday school that educates youth about Asian-Indian heritage through lessons consisting of moral stories from Hindu mythology and activities such as yoga and crafts. As a member of the Oro Valley Youth Advisory Council, a representative of Pima county in the Arizona Governor’s Youth Commission, and a captain of his high school’s Lincoln-Douglas debate team, he enjoys giving back to the community whenever he can. In his spare time, he likes to program and dabble in ping-pong and Pokémon. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
