YEC The Connection 2023
YEC The Connection 2023
YEC The Connection 2023 stays with me because it gathered a lot of things into one moment: preparation, leadership, language, nerves, and the feeling of stepping into something larger than ordinary campus life.
It was one of the most successful events we organized through YEC, and it carries extra weight for me because it included one of my first major English speeches in front of a large crowd. I still connect that moment to English and Articulation, because public speaking changes the scale of both.
I also tie the event closely to Van Anh, since we worked through the planning together, and to Linh Ngoc, because her presence there belongs to the memory too. Some events are remembered for the program itself. Others stay because of who was there and what it marked in your own development.
This was one of those.
