Huge congratulations to Kimberly Johnson Usman for being the over all CHAMPION SCHOLAR in the Junior Division! Kimberly also made it to the JUNIOR DEBATE SHOWCASE, where chosen top 8 debaters in the debate rounds present their views about a motion from the WSC curriculum in front of 3,000 scholars, coaches and parents. What an amazing feat to be selected from among 2,500 scholars coming from 50+ countries!
Here is what Kimberly has to say about her experience in Beijing:
‘After the event, it truly opened my eyes to the fact that something as simple as collaboration could bring me to great places and greater heights. Without a doubt, it was nerve-wracking, yet as a team we pulled through. Meeting new people, and new teammates from another part of the world has given me the opportunity to learn even more.’
Three teams from the Beijing Global Round have qualified for the Tournament of Champions in Yale University on November 8-13, 2019.
