Rhodes MRC has been a fascinating experience for me. Although I did not perform to the best of my abilities the first time I attended (being more inexperienced with public speaking at the time), I would have to single out the last day as my favorite memory of the conference overall. During that time, I was able to overcome my hesitation and engage more actively in the discussions of the committee. That served as motivation to further work on necessary soft skills and looking back, I am thankful for having been part of this experience that helped my personal growth.
