Krystal, who is currently taking Debate 1 as a class, relates to the quote on the chalkboard in the speech room: “Happiness can be found in the darkest of times” ~ Albus Dumbledor.

“Although I can manage my time and prioritized between Speech, Theater, Band, and my grades, I feel dead on the inside. But my passion for my hobbies keeps me going every day— its what I live for. I know that all my hard work and preparation will result in happy moments in the future when I accomplish my goals.”
