CHAMPS Charter High“High School debate fundamentally shaped the world around me. I have the confidence to speak up, I am able to think quickly, and most importantly, I am able to advocate for myself. I am a freshman at Harvard University and I have had to adjust to high-level coursework. Without a doubt, what I learned through LAMDL prepared me to succeed here.”
