something I tried to avoid at all costs. When I entered high school, I joined debate and competitive speaking, and it changed my personality forever. Because I transferred to the high school, I only knew a few people there. The new and unfamiliar setting caused me to be even more quiet than usual, and in the first few days of school, most people did not even notice I was there.

This past summer I qualified to attend the national speech tournament by competing in a local district…

Assuming the clerks would still be used for each division, MPs would still be in a position where they are circling around the chamber endlessly to vote on all divisible items from the day.

Reading at the time was only acceptable for girls. When entering college, he…

background of your argument, but you don’t explain why the debate about Cleopatra’s race has relevance and why it should continue.
