Bronson is on the debate team at Carbon High School this year, though not by choice (it took a little trickery and persuasion on my end). Although he bitterly complained about it at first, he's grown to enjoy it. Del and I were happy that we found a way to get Bronson involved at school, and we feel that his activity in debate has helped to improve his social skills. Bronson is even considering joining the squad next year - this time, voluntarily.
What none of us anticipated is that Bronson's actually really good at competitive debating. He placed in a couple of novice tournaments in the fall and has held his own these past few months as he's moved up from the newcomer ranks. Last weekend was Region - the final chance to qualify for State. It was held at Juan Diego High School, and there were 3 teams at the tournament. Bronson just wanted to do well enough to qualify for State but ended up sweeping all four of his rounds and tying for 1st place overall! This weekend is another big meet, with State being held March 7th and 8th. We'll keep everyone posted.
Way to go, Bronson!
