Yeah, Speech & Debate may seem odd to people but... I can't hide the fact I'm a nerd. In high school I did speech for a few years and debate for one year - pretty sure it's where I developed a lot of my cordial, friendly debate skills. Today I went and judged a debate round at the Montana Speech & Debate Tournament. I judged a few months ago - some speech and some debate - and was reminded how fantastic these extra-curricular activities can enrich the lives of high schoolers. I would even go so far as to say it helps participants to be met with more success later in life.
Anyway, today's judging brought me back to that again and I found myself smirking at the sassier of the debaters with her questions and responses. I'm definitely an advocate for speech & debate. Regardless of how nerdy it may seem.
