It's a while ago since the last time I posted something, so I have a lot to tell.
Let me start by telling about the debate banquet I went to a few weeks ago. It was a banquet where we(the debate team) looked back on the year and said goodbye to each other.
All the students got a diploma with a fun award. I got the 'Explorer Award' for exploring a new country, and a new club while on an exchange program from Denmark.
The debate team also has a tradition of "roasting" the seniors. All the juniors tell embarrassing or funny stories about the seniors. The guy that was "roasting" me talked about funny things he had learned about Denmark and then he told a story about a debate tournament I had gone to. I had been debating with Aleksandra the exchange student from Montenegro. Apparently there had been a lot of guys from other schools at our table because they all wanted to talk to the girls with the foreign accent...
The night of the banquet I also got to say goodbye to my debate coach Mrs. Graham. She have been my favorite teacher during my exchange year. I have had her for both english and debate and she have helped me a lot during my year. I will definitely miss her a lot!
I have had a great time on the debate team and I wish I had been able to go to more debate tournaments. I would definitely encourage other exchange students to join the debate team!
