But I was called to judge the people that would represent [the faculty], and after the judgement, the people there asked me to represent the faculty [at the speech contest]. I didn't agree in the first place but when my friends later called me that I can do this, I accepted what they told me and I took up the challenge", she said.

She thanked her friends for making her to do this. She as well dedicated her victory to them for their inspirational words and encouragement.

The speech contest has once again proven to be a showcase for the power of public speaking and the importance of sharing our ideas and perspectives.
