Second Debate

The first debate this year must have been uneventful as Christopher didn't mention anything about it.

But this past week, he had his second debate. He had to memorize his part. While this sounded more like a short speech to me, he insisted he was giving a debate.

So Friday rolled around and as we drove to school, Christopher continued to talk about how he wished he didn't have to give the speech. He even suggested going to his debate class for tutoring and giving the speech to his teacher.

I talked through the look over their heads, make eye contact with someone nice, take a deep breath stuff and I don't know if he was convinced. I did tell him to pray and said I would to. He mentioned there was a girl in his class who didn't even want to go to the front of the room she was so nervous. I said he could be a good support for her.

The day goes by and I hope everything went well.

I picked him up and he said he did his debate went good. He did it. He also said the girl who was nervous managed to give her speech in front of the class, too.

Whew.
