October 17 Meeting

Hey everyone,
Hopefully everybody is getting through their midterms alright so far as we get into the middle of October. Thanks to all who made the time to come out to the meeting this week!

Today's theme was "Strengths and Weaknesses", and we began the meeting by each sharing some of our own strengths as well as areas that we're trying to improve. Charith was today's Toastmaster, and he really set the tone for a great meeting from the beginning by creating a positive and friendly environment. He thoroughly explained each segment of the meeting and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Speaker Heather did a great job with her speech this week, which discussed the differences between how kids grew up in her generation compared to the generation her children are growing up in now. She brought up interesting points for us to consider, and provided real life examples that made her speech engaging to the audience. Table Topics participant Chi Chi gave a creative answer to the question "would you rather be a child or an adult forever" by saying that she would want to physically be an adult who possesses child like qualities.

All in all this past week was a great time. Hope everybody has a good week and we'll see you next meeting!
