This is a picture of my Mock Trial team this year. Mock Trial is a student organization where we receive a case and argue it as attorneys and witnesses. We are a part of the American Mock Trial Association, a nationwide community that hosts these tournaments and provides the cases that we argue. This year, my team qualified for the national semifinal tournament, called ORCS, which took place in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We worked incredibly hard, and our hard work paid off. Although we did not qualify for nationals, we plan to work hard and qualify next year. Mock Trial is my favorite community on campus because we consistently support each other. I met two of my best friends on this team, and I was recently elected to the executive board as the Vice President of Travel. This means that I will be in charge of logistics for the tournaments we attend next year. I would highly encourage anyone who is interested to try out for Mock Trial: joining has been the best decision I have made this year!
