Debate - A word that is altogether sweet, short, and simple.
Why is debate my favorite word? The better question how can it not be!
Ever since I was a little boy- parents, friends, and simply all those who came into contact with me were never hesitant to tell me about the uncanny ability I had to win every argument that came my way. Some would beam at me, enjoying my ability to thoroughly outsmart and essentially embarrass other adults in the room. Others, however, would get frustrated, and shoot me down as a stubborn ignorant little boy.
Now, you may say, these people around me are "supposed" to act this way toward me. However, I have objective proof of not only why Debate is truly my favorite word, but also why my A word that is altogether sweet, short, and simple..
It was a cool autumn day, and I was headed to a hearing for a speeding ticket I had just received. I barraged the police officer with questions, and then twisted his words to jumble up his account of the incident. I was spared the ticket, and I returned home that night victorious. The emotions I felt that day were unforgettable, and are the key reason why I have come to think of Debate as truly my favorite word.
The only thing I have ever have complete control over is the words that came out of my mouth. My ability to win arguments and disputes allows me to reach both a mental and emotional high that no other activity can provide me. Because of these reasons, Debate is my favorite word.
My AP English teacher marks off 10% of one's grade if we include a question like that in our essays. He's a PH.D from Notre Dame and I would suggest removing yours =]
also "little boy- parents" if you're using word type two dashes inbetween words without spaces like this: word--word and hit the space bar after the second word. Word will autiomatically create the long dash that you want in this case.
maybe argument you participated in? came your way is a bit awkward...
shoot me down, how about "label me" or "berate me for being"
On a cool autumn day I attended a hearing for a speeding ticket I recieved.
The way you describe "winning" seems more vindictive than a good debater should be... But that's just an opinion

Because debate causes me to reach both a mental and emotional high that no other activity can provide me makes it my favorite word.
Hope This Helps!
