Earlier this month, FDT held our very own edition of the Optimist Oratorical Competition.
The Optimist Oratorical Competition is a competition held annually around the world that inspires students to explore the power of optimism through public speaking. This year, all students were asked to speak on the topic of \”Healing the World with Optimism\”. We were happy to listen to so many speeches that were inspiring, thoughtful, and passionate. Without further ado, here are all the awards from the competition.
