Being the President of the Westford Toastmasters Club is a dream come true. It still feels surreal to think that I now hold this position. The badging ceremony, which was the culmination of weeks of planning, finally came to life, and it was a lively, fun, and heartwarming session. Every member of the Executive Committee delivered their lovely speeches, and Mr. Zawahir's comments touched my heart deeply. Giant thank you to the mentors and the past excom who made it all possible! I am committed to continuously striving for positive changes and ensuring that our Toastmasters club remains like a second family to all its members.
