I like to think of myself as a fun-loving person who is able to maintain a good balance between work and play (although my mum and dad might say it leans slightly too much in one direction). Debating has always been something that I’ve been pretty keen on and doing Politics and Philosophy (as well as the slightly less animated English Language) has allowed me to participate in it more and more, both in and outside lessons.

I hope to progress to University where I intend to study politics for which I will undoubtedly require good debating skills in order to wangle myself out of the trouble politicians inevitably seem to find themselves in.  I like to think I have a humorous style of debating, liked by some judges and hated by others, but I’ll leave the audience to be the judge of that.
