She wasn't too excited, because it is a relatively small tournament.
I reminded her...that she has to do her time, doing the small sets too, in order to prime for the big sets.
That you can't expect to always have these amazing, enlightened experiences...sometimes...you just have to put in your time to get to the reward at the end...
{You see...you don't HAVE to go on these...it is a choice which you participate in, if any, (or all) but how many hours you put in directly relates to lettering....and obviously...winning.}
So she went. She did her time...and the work....
She had a good day...She had fun!
AND LOOK WHAT SHE GOT OUT OF IT!!!!!
Hands down, the coolest trohpies thus far in her debate career.
They are huge....and REAL metal.
She adores them!
(She is even doing a ceramics project in her class based on the larger one.)
So, she ended up with a 1st in ORATORY and a 3rd in EXPOSITORY!!!
SO COOL!
She was SO incredibly happy that she made the decision to do the work and go!
I can't believe how well she is doing in Oratory!
It is phenomenol to me. Oratory is usually her least favorite, and it shows. It is the one she doesn't want to practice...and doesn't work on.
This year has just been a complete turn around in it!
So her dresser is really full of trohpies!
She is going to BERKLEY NEXT!
Which is HUGE!
it is a huge opportunity for her...and one of the largest high school debate tournaments that exsists.
Then she still has the STATE competition...and National Qualifiers...and from there...Maybe, NATIONALS!!!!
Can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings for her.
We are really proud of you!
