Advik here, I wasn’t too surprised since I’ve been in debate since 6th grade, but my fellow participants gave amazing speeches. Their vocabulary really inspired me to dive even deeper into debating. I learned many new things, like respecting others’ opinions and understanding that debate isn’t just about arguing. I really hope the next class involves some debating, and one thing I truly want is a chance to participate in a debate.
