Isaiah - National Speech and Debate Qualifier

My name is Isaiah Moonlight. I am a high school sophomore in the Speech and Debate team at East Mountain High School, New Mexico. The upcoming tournament is a week long! It takes place in Dallas this year and I have had the honor of being selected to attend. The National tournament for speech and debate is a great honor, and huge responsibility. Only a few dozen individuals from each state gain the ability to compete at the national level. To do so they must beat out the competition in their own state. I was able to achieve that mark in the new debate event Big Questions, and will be going to nationals in a week! The funds are to pay for food, logging, and travel expenses for the week that will be spent in Dallas at the tournament. We head out THIS SATURDAY for the big event and any donations can help me (and my team members) reach Dallas and compete nationally. So please, anything helps us reach our goal. While it's a big one, reaching to top is the dream of a debater, and this is it the top!
