Outstanding Speech Participant

The SMSU Forensics team has had the privilege of having Veronica Fischer on their team. She has given the team a lot to be proud of. She competed in over six categories this semester and took four to Nationals. While she did not place in Nationals, she was still able to represent her team.

Since Veronica has been such an outstanding competitor this semester, an SMSU reporter, Christine Streff, conducted an interviewing with Veronica so that the school could know a little more about her and her accomplishments.

Here is what Veronica had to say:

How long have you been involved with the Forensics team at SMSU?
This is my second year, I started second semester last year.

What is your favorite category to compete in? Why?
I really enjoy poetry mainly because I like how the focus is not only on the literature and theme, but the way the words are used.

How do you celebrate your victories and deal with defeat?
Every round/tournament is a clean slate. Every performance has to rely on itself rather than what has happened in the past.

What is judging like in a competition?
One thing I like about the judging is the ability to respond to the comments that the judges make by applying their suggestions to my speech. A huge aspect of forensics is growth and development and by responding to what others hear and see is a great way to do so.

What is your major?
Speech Communication and Philosophy
