Many of the speeches were incredibly moving not just in their content, but also in the medium through which they were delivered. This made me realise how, often, the skills to pitch and share one's ideas are inextricable from the growth and success of any initiative. This important skill is not one to be overlooked, and I was privileged to have witnessed a range of great speakers exemplifying it throughout the symposium.”

This experience has ignited a fervent passion within me to continue serving my community in school and beyond. The symposium's focus on self-development and servant leadership resonated with me on a personal level. The enthusiasm I feel for working with the youth and my commitment to self-improvement have been further invigorated. I am determined to channel the inspiration I gained from the symposium into concrete actions that contribute to the betterment of society.”

This lesson reminded me that while technical skills are essential, cultural competence is equally crucial in the humanitarian field.”
