Speech and Debate

Sydneys speech and debate season ended this weekend. It is her second year competing. Her event is called Dramatic Interpretation and she is required to take a published piece of literature, cut out parts to make it about ten minutes long, and then act it out. She worked hard all season practicing and fine tuning her speech for 8 hours of practice every week to complete in 8 tournaments over the last four months. This weekend she had her best performance yet and took 6th, making her the second alternate for nationals in July. She was thrilled with her progress this year and is sad to see the season end.
