Within the story, I have tried to stay as close to the rules and regulations of speech team competitions as possible. In some instances, I may have glossed over the finer points, or, for the sake of storytelling, outright changed something. For this, I offer my apologies.
Speech team isn’t just for the wildly extroverted. If you have a strong introverted streak or are terminally shy, consider giving speech a try for a season. You might, like Jolia, be surprised what happens.
