| The past weekend, there was a massive Speech and Debate tournament located in Stockton at the University of Pacific College. Although chaos was often prevalent, the trip was a wonderful experience. It helped me |
Despite the several issues of our trip, it was totally fun and exciting. This was one of the first times that I was able to connect and interact with the other members of our debate team. Everyone was welcoming and helpful in prepping for debate rounds. The weekend brought smiles to me throughout the tournament with prank calls, Morse code through hotel walls, bubber ducks(not a typo), charades, and tripping in the middle of crosswalks. Another great part of the tournament was the cafeteria food; the taco bowls were amazing! Also, another cool thing about the campus was a circle of columns that created echos if a person stood in the center. However, only the person in the middle could listen to the sounds. The tournament was tiring, but great bonding time for our team and helped me practice debating.
