The theme for our Open House this week was Community Service.

Ramya gave a prepared speech titled ‘Paralysis by Analysis’ explaining how not to overthink. She emphasized how to be empathetic to ourselves and practice self-love to embrace life as it comes. “No amount of grief can change the past and no amount of anxiety can change the future. Be confident in your abilities.”

Aneri gave her icebreaker speech, sharing her life journey with us through a speech titled “Diary of a Stroked doctor.” She shared her journey of experiencing a stroke as a doctor herself. “Time is of the essence, slow down and do not stress.”

Sarah took us through a table-topics session focusing on community service. She made the session exciting by having one person speak focusing on vocal variety and content while another person focused on gestures and body language to complement the other.
