1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,833
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:00,833 --> 00:00:01,666
- It was amazing.
- One sentence,

3
00:00:01,666 --> 00:00:03,100
I don't think I'll ever forget in my life,

4
00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:04,460
Mom, I made it to Harvard.

5
00:00:04,460 --> 00:00:08,079
It was like a Bollywood
Hollywood kind of a sentence.

6
00:00:08,079 --> 00:00:09,297
- Well I'm Shrey.

7
00:00:09,297 --> 00:00:12,100
I'm a freshman in Harvard, Class of 2022.

8
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:14,270
And I'm from New Delhi, India.

9
00:00:14,270 --> 00:00:16,650
I've been using Khan
Academy for quite a while,

10
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:18,637
6th grade, probably.

11
00:00:18,637 --> 00:00:21,470
(uplifting music)

12
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,623
Chemistry is a subject that,

13
00:00:25,490 --> 00:00:27,850
if you're not clear with the fundamentals

14
00:00:27,850 --> 00:00:29,640
or the building blocks,

15
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,650
you will really struggle a lot

16
00:00:31,650 --> 00:00:34,730
when you get to the higher concepts.

17
00:00:34,730 --> 00:00:36,560
When I struggled with Chemistry,

18
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,640
it was more about not
getting enough attention

19
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,420
on the basic fundamental things,

20
00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:47,303
or the class being just
too fast-paced for me.

21
00:00:47,303 --> 00:00:50,600
(upbeat music)

22
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,470
Khan Academy eliminated that
for me to a great extent,

23
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:56,550
'cause I didn't have to feel bad

24
00:00:56,550 --> 00:00:59,500
about watching the same
video over and over again.

25
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:01,380
I could watch it at a slower pace.

26
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:04,660
I could do millions of questions

27
00:01:04,660 --> 00:01:07,240
at the same level, at
the fundamental level,

28
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,660
and that was great, actually,

29
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:10,883
'cause I was learning at my own pace.

30
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:13,470
(electronic chime)

31
00:01:13,470 --> 00:01:15,420
Khan Academy teaching just eliminates

32
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:17,120
any sort of learning gap.

33
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,570
- This access to education
is the greatest gift

34
00:01:20,570 --> 00:01:22,180
which we can give to our kids,

35
00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:24,040
wherever they are in this world.

36
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,400
If they have access to
this kind of education

37
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,850
through technology, through digital means,

38
00:01:28,850 --> 00:01:30,750
through platforms like Khan Academy,

39
00:01:30,750 --> 00:01:32,250
they can achieve anything.

40
00:01:32,250 --> 00:01:34,120
A child sitting in any
corner of the world,

41
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,730
if they have this access
to these resources,

42
00:01:36,730 --> 00:00:00,000
anything is possible.
