It’s okay – if you have bad English skills.
It’s okay – if you have a stutter or speech impediment.
It’s okay – if you are a beginner at public speaking.
It’s okay – if you have not had success in previous debate or other activities.
It’s okay – if you set really high goals and fail – it’s all about how hard you tried.
It’s okay – if you like different types of arguments.
It’s okay – if you have never done any debate at all!
