Yesterday, the SJI International Debating team attended a debate competition and debated against St Margaret's Secondary School in the semi-finals of the Julia Gabriel's Debating Championship. This round was a 1 hour preparation round with no help from coaches. I, being the reserve of the team, helped the main speakers find examples and look up on facts. This was hopeless however as the almanac barely had anything. After the 1 hour, we debated St Margaret's and we WON!! We were all so happy that we won and now, we are finalist. Imagine a new school, getting into the finals of a debate competition at a national level. So, after getting the results, I was suppose to meet my parents but, Louisa, Antonia and Nicole dragged me to the bus stop with them against my will. When they finally gave up, and left, I had to walk around the school, trying to figure out where the main entrance was. I found it after a while. Me and my parents went to Zion Road to eat. There I was surprised to meet my God-Parents. And if that was not bad enough, I met my church sacristan. What a small country Singapore is. So, after dinner, I headed home and did my homework from 10 till 12 and was advised to go to sleep by Louisa as I had a headache. After that, I read my book before sleeping at 1am. So, now that SJI International is in the Finals of the debate, more supporters are expected and hopefully, we can win this.
