Habit of Mind: Communication
Debate is all about communication. It is necessary to be able to communicate with your partner in order to work together in a cohesive manner; it is also necessary to communicate with your opponents in order to extract their information and refute it properly. But most importantly, communication is key to win over your judge.

Stretch:Throughout the course of the debate season, I did not manage to win any sort of physical award which I regret deeply. I blame myself for not spending more time into further understanding and utilizing my packets and for not putting in the extra effort with the goal of an award in mind.
