Debate League

In our club meeting, we were asked to visit another club then blog about it. It was sort of unexpected and I wasn't really excited when I heard about it. But then, I was so happy when I heard that I was going to visit debate league :D! Suddenly, there was a flashback on my head about all the things that happened on my club last year which was debate league.

When my partner Zhino and I stepped into the class of debate league, it felt 100% awkward. Everyone kept on looking at us and I felt very out of place. I also didn't have the chance to talk to anyone because I had no friends there and most of the people were from grades 7-8. However, I learned lots of things from their club.

Their activity was to debate about : Resolved that having a University degree is overrated

Negative Side
- Degrees will not help you get jobs.
- Only a small percent of people who never took college degrees became successful.
- If ever a person never took a degree in college but he or she has the idea to create something, they will still need people who are educated to transmit their idea or else their idea will just go to waste.

Positive Side
- College degrees are not needed but it's with the given skill.
- K12 vocational classes are enough for people to learn new things.
- You can just learn from the internet
- First 2 years of college just review most of things lessons you studied in high school.

I liked it how the people cooperated with each other very well and how they thought of many arguements so that they can defend their side no matter what. In the end, I enjoyed visiting their club and this is one hell of a unique experience.
