“We all need heroes, to bring hope to those with the same dream, aspirations, and goals as us, and make them believe that greatness can indeed be achieved. Our theme tonight is called beyond leadership because it is not limited in our works but how we touched the lives of others that would still continue on to the next generation. You are all brought together tonight in this room because of one mission and it's to share your stories with our countrymen.”- Andria Terese Nicolas
