+# Emacs as a Highschooler: How It Changed My Life
+Sunday, Nov 29 2020, 1:03 PM - 1:13 PM
+Pierce Wang
+
+Could Emacs be humanity's solution to the turbulent years of
+adolescence? So much more than a text editor, Emacs changed the way I
+approach everything at the age of 15. In the two years since
+discovering Emacs in my sophomore year of high school, I have been
+constantly amazed at what Emacs is capable of. In this talk, I would
+like to share this journey of discovery and what I've learned along
+the way, beginning with what led me to Emacs. I will describe the
+many ways that Emacs has shaped my life as a student, a programmer, a
+violinist, and a productive and happy adolescent. In each case, I
+have thoroughly enjoyed figuring out the best way to make Emacs work
+for me, and I'd like to share this with others. In addition, I'd like
+to take this opportunity to address some roadblocks that I have
+noticed having observed some of my peers' attempts at learning Emacs
+and possible solutions for those barriers, taking inspiration from
+various sources both from inside and outside the Emacs community.
+
