Speaking with Confidence

Samantha Nava
Most people don’t want to even try speech and debate because they are scared of the public speaking aspect. That eventually goes away, and you’re left with overall better communicating skills and confidence.”
Samantha Nava
San Jac debate team member, and silver medalist Phi Rho Pi National Forensic Organization National Tournament
