"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, and that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation."
— Nelson Mandela
Rhea Siddagunta is a Neuroscience major at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She has a strong passion for giving speeches and actively listening to them. Competing with her high school's mock trial team at district-level competitions was an experience she enjoyed.
In addition to her academic pursuits, Rhea has a keen interest in dancing and participating in chess tournaments on a national scale. An interesting tidbit about her is that she manages a YouTube channel called “Rhea Sid,” where she showcases her talents and abilities. Her fascination with photography and videography finds a creative outlet through this channel, allowing her to express herself effectively.
Rhea's involvement with Lead Youth is driven by her desire to educate young individuals on becoming leaders in society. She firmly believes that public speaking is crucial, and she sees it as every child's right to learn to be comfortable with speaking. Her determination knows no bounds when it comes to helping children achieve their public speaking goals and enhancing their debate skills.
With unwavering dedication, Rhea is committed to going above and beyond to assist children in realizing their desires for public speaking. She holds the conviction that interning at Lead Youth will not only foster her personal growth, but also contribute significantly to her learning journey.
