Congressional Debate Co-Captain
I've been doing Congress since 8th grade and am currently a senior
I primarily compete in Congress, but used to do LD, so I can help out with either
Don't be afraid to reach out or text, even if it's not about speech and debate. I'll always respond to messages and Instagram.

-My favorite books are Galatea by Madeline Miller and the Awakening by Kate Chopin. They're basically the same story. If you're into feminism, I recommend.
-I enjoy any movie except horror. I love movie recommendations and watch most new movies coming out too.
-I can read your astrology pretty well too, so you can talk to me about mercury retrograde or the moon or whatever.
-I also do Key Club, a community service club, so if you ever need volunteer hours or service opportunities, ask me about it.

-It's always a very welcoming environment! We're also very very big on team spirit and although Congress is a solo competitor activity, we'll always be there to help out with whatever necessary. We prep research together and oftentimes share speeches
-We debate a variety of topics-- political, ethical, scientific, social, etc. , so you'll always be able to find something you enjoy. And if you don't like the bills, you can write your own.
-At every tournament we've gone to this year, we've always had at least one person place within the top 6! (we go to like 14-ish tournaments a year, so this is huge for us!)
-We've consistently written some of the best bills on the docket and the had best debaters on the circuit
-It's a very very easy event to get into & it's very easy to do well
-It combines aspects of both speech and debate, meaning that your skills carry over to other events (should you choose to do other events) and you generally have a better grasp on both necessary
-Easiest event to double enter in because it never overlaps with the others.
-Less pressure than the other events because you only speak for 3 minutes at a time, and you get as much preparation as you need.
