    Tuberculosis Awareness and Speech Contest


    What does a typical AASuccess student do during the weekly Saturday meetings? Other than work on individual projects and learning life skills with one of the many professional coaches, AASuccess students can be found participating in contests to enhance their knowledge, apply their life skills, and release a healthy dose of competitiveness. On the weekend of October 6, the hot topic was Tuberculosis (TB), of which an informative flyer was sent to the students to study and partake in some independent researching of their own. A TB specialist was invited from the Fairfax County Health Department to give a brief presentation on Tuberculosis awareness and how it is more common in the Asian community. After the specialist answered all the questions that the students had about the presentation, it was time for the students to prepare for the speech contest. Present at the speech contest, AASuccess President, Vihanh Tham agreed that the students finished the objective of the contest: The contest goal was to articulate Tuberculosis prevention, clinics for care, and TBs effect on their families and friends. We received good feedback from our presenters about student participation and the judges saw the competitive spirit of our young participants. After a Saturday like this, AASuccess students leave with new knowledge on a critical new topic and practice on a particular area of weakness, in this case, articulation.
