Full story
When I found out I am going to be a panel of judges, I was a little nerves at first I thought to myself how can I do this, how can I do a good job debating and how can I impress the panel of judges.
I had to prepare for 4 days before the competition and spent a lot of time preparing notes to take with me and also practiced my presentation skills. The day finally arrived and I was the first one up in the morning. I left the house and went to the conference, my adrenaline was racing.

After it was all over, I heard that I had won my debate competition on the spot. The panel of judges were pleased with my points and I emerged the winner of the debate.
