My name is David Qiao, I’m a Chinese Canadian grade 9 student living in Alberta, Canada, and I’m attending Christ the King school. I like many things, art, video games, movies, music, taekwondo, and, most importantly, debate. I love giving and creating things, especially in my community. One example is when I designed many artworks and symbols for my school. My designs have been used, from anti-bullying shirts to greeting cards. My interest in media and talking to others naturally evolved into an interest in debate and speech. I have had a decent win streak in debate tournaments since I started debating and public speaking two years ago. I have received around nine awards ranging from 1st Team in the 2021 Junior high Cougars Debate tournament to top Speaker in the Self-Authored category in the 2022 Edmonton speech tournament. I also have an experience in teaching and coaching new beginners, from hosting classes and helping in Debate Club. I look forward to working together with you.
