"Well, I wasn't expecting this. So, I didn't prepare a speech. Please bear with my sloppy speech." Cassandra chuckled and a roar of laughter from the audience reverberated the hall. When the audience quieted down, Cassandra continued. "My father once told me that flowers bloom when showered with care and love. A person surrounded by love will also bloom like a flower.
