In McPherson forensics, Hendrix Nelson is making name in informational speeches and exempt. As a Junior, Nelson continues to set goals and continues to improve as the years progress. “This season I am hoping to be better during the state competition. It has been important for me to do well in forensics ever since I started. I hope to improve more every year.” With Nelson only a junior, there is still Nelson’s senior year to continue to improve and grow as a competitor as well as the remainder of junior year.
During this season, Nelson is hoping to learn from competitors in exempt. Not only does Nelson want to learn from competitors but is looking forward to the forensics community. “The community that forensics build is always something to look forward to.”
A highlight Nelson shared with Vype Magazine was when Nelson placed first for the first time at a forensics competition. “I remember how confused I was on stage because I somehow managed to place ahead of one of our state champions.” With this accomplishment, Nelson has a great story and bragging rights to share with others.
Nelson is currently undecided about what the future might hold. College is a thought for Nelson, but an ultimate dream for Nelson would be owning a business. “With that I hope to help out employees and build a better community.” A community Nelson surely learned from the forensics community.
In addition to forensics, Nelson is also involved in other activities at the high school. Esports, theater, and debate are all activities Nelson participates in for The Bullpups.
