I have been participating in the Golden State Academy for over two years. I really like debate as it has been able to grant me public speaking, research, and critical thinking skills. I have had the opportunity to participate in various local, regional, and national debate tournaments under the guidance and help of Coach Victor. Through various times of ups and downs, I witnessed the sadness of not breaking, and the joy of excelling. I sincerely hope that I can keep improving and become the better of myself.
