Mentakab mentor Martina Gilmartin helped write a speech a few weeks ago. Then, she and TELL2 teacher Mr. Veera helped coach and practiced with a student named "Nick" in the TELL2 SK Bandar Mentakab school. What happened then?? Nick went on to win the public speaking competition at the zone level for Mentakab! Next, Nick won first place in the Temerloh district for his public speaking. Nick made it all the way to the state level competition, competing against the winners from all 11 of the districts of Pahang.

Unfortunately, he didn't win the state level competition. However, his speech was great and we are all very proud of him and how far he went in the competitions!

Nick is very happy, his parents are proud, his teachers are proud, and the mentors from Mentakab are proud of him. The competition was held on Saturday, the 9th of May in SK Felda Purun. Attending the competition were mentors Martina Gilmartin and Jimmy Ma from Temerloh and Meryl from Bera.
