Hello! My name is Melania Toczko and I'm a second-year student at Harper College. I've been a dedicated member of the Harper Hawk Speech & Debate Team since I began my higher education journey in 2018. I've competed in public address and debate events. 

Joining the speech and debate team at Harper was among the best decisions I've ever made. Being part of such an active and engaged extracurricular has allowed me to achieve a greater sense of self-confidence, foster new friendships, and learn how to stick to a rigorous schedule. I'm incredibly lucky to be part of an understanding, collegial, and creative group of students like this one. I know my peers and I are super stoked to go to nationals in New Mexico and would be extremely grateful if you donated to our cause! Thank you in advance.
