I am not really that sure but i think they are what people are like :/
In the “Birthday Box” we learn this lesson, always be thankful for what you have because one day it could disappear. In this story Kate’s mom was very sick for a long time, she was in the hospital for quite a while. On Katie’s tenth birthday she goes to see her mom at the hospital. Katie had a big party with all the nurses and doctors. Kate received a box from her mother and she was too upset that all she got was a box to realize that her mom was using up her last heartbeats. After this event Katie was depressed for about a year, she really missed her.
For the answer to the question above, before the competition makes sure she knows her content and topic if she finds it hard tell her to write small notes on it to expand and talk about in more detail or research it the night before the debate.
