become a better debater

I had the CT Middle School-Level debate. Very happy. My partner and I came in 2nd out of the teams competing in the whole state, which was incredible, and I came in 2nd out of all the individual middle schoolers. My partner and I had a hard debate (trying to prove why violent video games’ sale and use for young people should not be banned/regulated) but we held our own, got to the finals, and did incredibly well. It was a very close debate. I’m extremely excited about that.

Unfortunately, I missed a baseball game for this and my team lost their first game. Ehh. It’s hard to go undefeated in baseball. We can always hope for a 1-loss-season. :)

Debate is an extraordinary thing to do. Whatever you want to do in your life, it helps very much to know how to talk with others, how to sustain your arguments in a every day disscution. I will tell more about this in my future message.
