Lewis & Clark
Our first tournament is finally over! Three days of speaking and debating! Phew… my voice barely made it through too. I brought some throat lozenges just in case.
But… we didn’t do too bad. Nik and I went through to the finals in Parli Debate with a 5-1 record! We lost the first elimination round with a 1-2 vote from the panel of judges. I went into the round with the hopes of at least a single vote to show that we fought well. I’m happy with that.
My persuasive platform speech also took a Finalist awards in the Junior level of competition. I completely didn’t expect that one, but it excites me to the potential of it’s use in future tournaments.
I’m exhausted from the pressure… mmm…

Dear Ben,
I have the Quarter-Finalist Award for you and Ben to share.
Really though, congrats on your performances. From what I saw, you were really doing an excellent job with argumentation.
Love Jacob.
PS. Tell Shae and Djai that I love them.
