#1 I had come to the school with a goal of joining the debate team. I had only fleeting opportunities to revisit the activity in the fifth grade, but I knew that the culture of debate was well-entrenched in Sydney’s middle and high schools.

#2 In the first round of trials, I was assigned a debate topic that I had to argue for compulsory military service. I felt at ease to flirt with ideas, unencumbered by expectations of consistency or deep conviction.

#3 Every citizen has a duty to serve and this will result in a safer nation. I spoke about the importance of giving political leaders a more direct stake in the fate of military operations.
