Her recitation was based on Franklin D. Roosevelt&#8217;s inaugural speech. According to the judges, as well as being presented beautifully, Shoko&#8217;s recitation captured the true essence of the speech more than that of other speakers. Our congratulations to Shoko, and our thanks to all the ESS members, faculty, and students who assisted her.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1387 gallery-columns-2
