Public Speaking-not ITP

[AKA_Bait]

Glad to hear it went well. Don't worry about how you placed (I didn't realize this was a competitive event). A few words of wisdom from my old HS Speech and Debate coach, who said the following every year, at the beginning of the year, to the entire team during the first team-wide meeting (the team was very large, over 100 members, so team-wide meetings were rare). He said:

At the end of every tournament we go to you need to ask yourself three questions. First: did I try my best? Second: did I learn something? Third: did I have fun? If you are going to be on this team, you need to be able to answer "yes" to all three questions. Note that one of these questions is not: did I win?
