Hello everyone! My name is Sophia Isabella Hughes, and I am a Van Horn High School honors student here in Independence, Missouri, approaching the end of my sophomore year and preparing to attend STATE and NATIONALS Debate for the 2nd year in a row, as well as the new NIETOC, (National Individual Events Tournament of Champions), started this year!

I'm super excited to also have been accepted into Harvard's Debate Council Workshops this Summer (7/13 - 7/25), in Boston, which is the reason I am raising money to pay for Tuition, Airfare, and Misc expenses.
