La Salle Interclub Debating Competition

I'll take a moment of my time to say how incredibly awesome I was. I'll shamelessly toot my own horn, so pls, just for this time, allow me to gloat.

I was chosen as one of the participants of our class, together with Derick and Ace for the U-Week's Inter-club Debating Competition in La Salle. I never said no for anything that can unleash my potentials, so definitely, I said YES when my classmates asked and volunteered for me.

During the competition proper, our team won during the elimination round. We bagged all the awards. I got the Best Debater award, my teammate was the Best Speaker, and our team being the best debating team.
For the championship round, We bagged all the awards again. I won 2 awards this time, the best speaker and the best debater award, and the best debating team making us the champion for the debating competition.

So there, our team out-shined and left our contenders empty handed. Kudos to the three of us in the team, its our combined efforts that put us on top.

In behalf of my team mates, I would like to thank these very important people:
1. our classmates who shouted-their-ass out just to cheer us up, uplift us, and motivate us during and even before the competition;
2. our friends and family whom we've been taking each of their several page's books as our reference;
3. and I personally wanna thank LHEN for her love that inspires me making me feel that I'm the smartest man in the world.

As the cliche goes, Life is full of challenges.-right! But we must not also leave the brighter side unseen for every challenges we have lies a wonderful surprise. So if your up for trying something, go for it. Winning isn't only about awards and recognitions but afterall, its the experience that you can get and bring with you, even when you grow old.

Nothing beats preparation. Keep on trying something new! Go for it!
