Every month, it is optional for teachers to award a special student with the title “Student of the Month.” Speech and Debate was fortunate enough to have two special students for Student of the Month! Debate teacher Kris Freitas nominated Senior’s Taylor Ramirez and Titinanna ‘Tea’ Vue.
Freitas states, “They are the first duo interp that Buhach has ever had. Taylor and Tea placed first overall in novice duo in the first competition they ever competed in.” The first competition took place on October 15th at Enochs high. “They now compete at varsity level.” Freitas responded, “I would say they have always been hardworking… It’s pretty cool to see how successful they have been.” Taylor Ramirez joined in the middle of last year. Ramirez joined Speech and Debate because it was extra credit but she ended up really loving it. Ramirez stated, “I believe I worked hard for this title.” Titinanna ‘Tea’ Vue joined at the beginning of this year. Vue states, “I’ve always wanted to improve my speaking skills so I joined it. It was also really fun!” One of her friends from last year told Vue that she would do good in a lot of the speech events so she looked into it and joined. Vue has worked extremely hard for this title. Vue stated, “I believe so! I’ve put a lot of time and effort into memorizing a lot of |
speeches. I also have improved and learned a lot of new things along the way and I will continue to work harder!”
Taylor Ramirez and Titinanna Vue have since inspired a number of other duos. Buhach now has a total of three duos! Keep up the hard work BC students! You rock!
