Victor Qin

Victor Qin was a member of Kudos Debate Team while he was in middle school during 2012-13. In the summer of 2017, he graduated from North Hollywood High School Highly Gifted Magnet School. During his time at North Hollywood, Victor was treasurer and then co-captain while learning from one of our coaches Mr. Evan Feldman. He was a state qualifier in both Lincoln Douglas Debate and as a Presiding Officer in Congress. Among more than five hundred and seventy graduates, he was one of four to deliver the valedictorian speech in the graduation ceremony. He is now a freshman at Harvard University.

A Few Words From Victor's Mom

Thanks to Kudos! The training he received from Kudos really serves him well. Not only it helps him to become an active member in his school debate community, but also it helps him to survive well in his rigorous AP European and US history classes. He also made so many friends from Kudos.

His AP European/ US history teacher is famous for toughness. Victor is one of very few students who got an A in his class, which helps his class ranking tremendously. He ranks at the top of his class with another student.

Victor in his early years at Kudos

He feels his debate training helps him excel at that teacher's class, it on the other hand helps him to appreciate that teacher's teaching. Some kids did not understand, but Victor thinks he learned a lot from that teacher.

Ironically he spent a lot of time on extracurricular activities and still slept 7 hours per night. He doesn't play online game. Probably that saved his time.
