In today's interview, we hear from current Standford University student Gina Sanchez.  Gina is former speech and debate competitor, during which time she was a three-time New Mexico State Champion in Congressional debate as well as a two-time top finisher for Public Policy Debate.   Gina tells us about her favorite event, International Extemporaneous Speaking, in which participants are "forced to solve the worlds problems by answering questions about (for example) ISIS or Myanmar refugees."  Gina credits her current interest in international relations to her experience in Speech and Debate during high school.
