    Last year’s champion, Stephen, is hoping to regain his crown, but ambitious newcomers are coming up behind him. It’s not only trophies at stake, this could be their only chance of a college scholarship.

    This video was awesome. My daughter is in sixth grade and tried out for the speech team and didn't make it however she did make the spring play. I sent the video to her with the hope that she won't get discouraged and be willing to try again next school term.

    I'm a high school senior who lives in the Bronx and I find this to be awesome. I debate Constitutional Law, but I wish I was apart of this. Shout out to Stephen & congratulations on winning last year! (We went to the STEP program back in 2011)

    Yale seems a bad choice for people who believe in goals they believe they can achieve instead of feeling like victims who want to trash the Constitution.

    waste of time, is it not better to teach them a real skill or something that will get them somewhere in life...not everyone can be an actor..
