SEM Debaters Attend Michelle Obama Tour

Sem Debaters Attend Michelle Obama Tour

On December 17, SEM debaters attended the Michelle Obama Becoming Tour. We got to hear the former first lady discuss the Presidency, politics, and pursuing your dreams. What an inspiring presentation! The debaters were extra excited because one of our own was featured on the American Airlines Jumbotron at the end of the show.

Attached is a photo of Ms. Zhuge and the debaters that attended with their Michelle Obama books. It’s not the best quality because it was dark outside the venue, but you can see all the smiling faces!
