Debate

Debating has been, by far, my favorite activity throughout high school. It has been my best teacher: I’m learning diverse perspectives as I defend The House even when I don’t agree with it, learning to spar without spite as I befriend my opponents after the round, and learning to think on my feet writing 8 minute speeches in as less as 15 minutes of prep.

Model UN

Through MUNs, I’ve had the chance to not just debate, but to form international relations—ones that last well beyond three-day conferences. After adjudging alongside Oxford students at Oxford MUN UK, I’m now looking forward to Yale MUN South Asia this November, where I’m chairing ASEAN!
