"Dear diary, today is the day of the debating contest with Zolile High School. I'm feeling nervous and excited at the same time. I've never debated with girls before, let alone white girls. I hope I can do my best and make my school proud. I'm also worried that the boys on my team won't take me seriously. I don't want them to think that I'm weak or incapable. I just want to show them that girls can debate too. I'll write more after the contest."
After the contest:
"Dear diary, I can't believe it! We won the debating contest against Zolile High School! I'm so happy and proud of myself and my team. The girls on our team did an amazing job, and the boys finally realized that we can debate just as well as they can. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to prove myself and challenge their stereotypes. I hope that this will inspire other girls to participate in the future. I feel more confident and empowered now. I can't wait to see what other challenges lie ahead."
