SPEECH AND DEBATE 3-8
This year I went to a compete in Congress. I was never good at Congress but being able to speak and think on the spot, made me have enough courage to continue what I was doing.They would give the Senators some bills and you will present and try to persuade people on your side with pros and cons. After presenting your idea, you will get questions, most likely ones that will try to make you look bad. I got a chance to speak from my heart and to increase my knowledge. This also got me to understand clearly on how reading bills work.

Another competition I participated in was with my friend, Chelsea. To accomplish this event, we had to write a 10 minute script and memorize it. Working with a partner has taught me how to communicate and increase my leadership skills. We had to understand when each of us need help. Most importantly, we stuck by each other whether we were having fun or not.
