If given the opportunity, I would keep doing what I already started: giving kids access to opportunities their schools never gave them. I grew up in Miramar, Florida, watching smart kids lose out. Not because they lacked talent. Because their schools didn't have the same resources as schools a few miles away. I watched classmates who could have gone far stay stuck instead, and it never sat right with me. So in 2022, I started a debate coaching program. I coach kids for free at Title I middle schools, the ones without funding for a real debate team. Debate changed my life. It gave me the confidence to speak in front of people, think fast, and argue my point without backing down. I wanted other kids to get that same shot, especially the ones nobody expected to get it. Every week I show up and teach. Argument structure. Public speaking. How to disagree with someone without losing your composure. These are skills that follow kids long after the debate round ends. A kid who learns to make a case for himself in a debate round learns he can make a case for himself anywhere. In a classroom. In a job interview. In a courtroom someday. This work matters to me because I am first-generation and low-income myself. My mom raised my brother and me on her own, working as a nurse. I know what it feels like to want more but not have a clear roadmap for how to get there. Coaching these kids is my way of handing them a piece of that roadmap early, instead of making them wait until college like I did. If I had more time and resources, I would grow the program. Right now it's just me and a handful of students. I want to train other high schoolers and college students to coach too, so more Title I schools can have a team of their own instead of relying on one person. I would also push to get debate written into more school budgets, instead of leaving it to volunteers to fill the gap every year. That's the bigger goal behind all of this. I want to go to law school and work on the policy side, on the funding decisions that decide which schools get a debate team and which don't. Coaching taught me that talent is everywhere. Opportunity isn't. I want to spend my career closing that gap, one classroom and one policy at a time.
