💼 PREPARED SPEECHES

It was a speakathon and there was a great smorgasbord of speeches. Six Filcomites took up the challenge to deliver their respective speech projects. Raffy took the onus of starting a speakathon and delivered a mind boggling speech “ Happy for my Failures” by showcasing his strength in linguistic as well as Kinesthetic skills. Khadar came next with his take on “Power of Reading” and pinned down the importance of habit of reading in our life. Next in line was Michelle to take over the stage, she captivated the audience with her subtle style and threw light on the “Changes - Inside Out”. Fourth in line was our rising life coach Afjal, who elaborated the “Ways of Communication “ with his pedagogical skill. Next was the entry of our great story teller Diana who exhibited her existential and linguistic intelligence to connect with the audience through her story of “Paradox of Giving “ and last but not the least Viji challenged the axiom “An eye for an eye” with her unique faculty of Interpersonal skills.
