Adam – Humorous Interpretive

Favorite Event: Open Interpretive

What do you look forward to at nationals?
“I’m probably most looking forward to seeing the other speeches at Nationals, since they are so high-quality. I’m also glad to get the experience of competing.”

Favorite Hobbies:
“My other hobbies are writing and juggling!”

How has speech and/or debate benefited you?
“Both speech and debate have given me a better ability to compose my thoughts quickly, and have helped me to accept the judges’ decision, no matter what my own opinion on the matter is.”

Favorite memory from the year:
“My favorite memory is of Chris Riegg and Sam Wolkenhour trying to rap a parody of a Weird Al song.”

Sarah – Extemporaneous, Impromptu, Expository

Favorite Event: Limited Preparation Events

What do you look forward to at nationals?
“Nationals gives you a chance to face the best in the nation. It’s really an iron-sharpening-iron experience – a great opportunity to see and compete against talented speakers and debaters. I also enjoy spending time with friends from Region 3 and around the nation.”

Favorite Hobbies:
“I love playing the harp, sports, and gardening!”

How has speech and/or debate benefited you?
“Well, when I started debating four years ago, I was painfully shy. But as I competed, I was stretched to perform at a higher level, to communicate effectively. Some of my closest friends are from the NCFCA. The league has been one of the biggest blessings in my life for the last 4 years.”

Favorite memory from the year:
“It was really neat to see younger speakers and debaters understanding the vision for speech and debate: communicating in a Christ like manner with excellence. And of course, trying extemporaneous speaking was a real adventure!”

Brielle – Open Interpretation

Favorite Event: Duo Interpretation, Humorous Interpretation

Favorite Hobbies:
“I enjoy working with horses and writing fictional stories whether they be on paper or just in my head.”

How has speech and/or debate benefited you?
“After three years of being forced to stand up and spit out what I’m feeling or thinking in a more logical and entertaining way it’s become quite easy to interact and communicate with anyone I meet on the street, in daily life, or even around my home. But like they say, “Practice makes perfect”. Those skills didn’t happen overnight. Debate and speech also taught me patience and hard work gets you to where you wish to be or even sometimes to where you should be.”

Favorite memory from the year: “I can’t place one memory over any others, but one that comes to mind is when I was in my second year of debate. Our coach was helping my partner and I as well as one other team formulate our speeches better. Of course, there were also some distracting habits that were dealt with as well…my partner’s habits, not MINE of course. So every time he used one of those annoying filler words or did something our coach didn’t like, she’d crumple up a piece of paper and chuck it at him. He hasn’t over used that word ever since.”

John – Lincoln Douglas Debate

Favorite Event: Interpretations, mostly Duo, and Open

Favorite Hobbies:
I love to play any sport, but, the two I enjoy most are soccer and ultimate Frisbee. I also have fun over-clocking my computer to its limits, and doing woodworking projects.

Daniel – Team Policy Debate, Extemporaneous Speaking

Favorite Event: Team Policy Debate

Favorite Hobbies:
“Computers and sports!”

Patrick – Team PolicyJohn – Team Policy

Jordan – Team Policy
