Hi! so few days back, I participated in this debate competition and had a lot to say in this regard. I think this allows you to grow and move out of your comfort zone and try out things. sometimes you might really want to do things but your fears kick in. I think that is what I wanted to tackle with this competition. when you go all in, you would be surprised to see how much room you got to grow. so the next time this kind of opportunity pops in front of you and you are afraid, shove the fear aside and say to yourself, "I am here to reap the benefits". it make the struggle worthwhile as you try to do the possible best there.
