If you heard Harrison Ford's voice finish that with "...get cocky" then you're right about what I'm going to blog about. Plus give yourself 10 points for getting a quote from Star Wars: A New Hope.
I got home from Bentonville High Schools annual Forensics Tournament. I got first place in Novice Debate. Two weekends ago I got second place at Novice Breakout.
Lets just say I feel good about how I'm doing in debate right now. The word of caution from all Champ debaters though is "Don't get cocky".
This is a problem for me. I like being good at things and coming home from somewhere with a total of three trophies (6th place speaks) this month makes me feel good. But there are plenty of great debaters that could beat me and it is only Arkansas and being cocky is never something that people like. I'm definitely going to try and make sure it doesn't become a problem. Props to my partner who got 4th speaks which is no doubt what rolled us over a team with the first place speaker.
Debate is fun but I shouldn't make it something where people don't like my attitude.
