Q: What is the main goal or purpose of debate club?

Q: What steps are you taking in order to become a lawyer?

A: Lots and lots of AP classes. I took AP Government, AP Psychology, AP English 11. Government will obviously assist me, Psychology because I want to be in the criminal justice field of law so I want to defend criminals who likely have psychological disorders and English because it helps with fluency and vocabulary.

Q: What are your main goals for debate club for the future?

A: I want to have some academic honor for Lake Central because we got killed our freshman year.
