However, the opposition was full by then and I was too late. It was not over for me, as I thrived my way through success with my team, at least I think we succeeded. My team and I have put a lot of work together, I really think I have not done a good job on the research part, but I certainly knew what to talk about when it came to the debate.

We started discussing the roles everyone should take during ...
