Hi guys, Lucy here :)
I’d just like to say how grateful my team is to be featured on Humans of New York— a popular blog/facebook photographer who documents humans in the city of New York. Do me a favor and like HoNY and the Bronx Science Speech and Debate team on Facebook? thanks :)

By the way, this is Jon Cruz, the director of debate at Bronx Science and as most of you might know, he is a distinguished debate coach who has done a lot for our community. He is not only inspiring but passionate about the activity itself. So do me a favor by liking the ‘Bronx science Speech and Debate Team’ on facebook as well as “humans of new york” :)

YOU GUYS ROCK

Dear HONY,
Jon Cruz is not a millionaire, nor a politician, and outside the little niche he has carved for himself and filled with many others he is not famous at all; yet, he is one of the one of the most important men in New York City. He is the coach of the Bronx Science HS Debate Team.
Every day he gives up his time to help his students form their own opinions, grow as citizens and as people. He runs the largest debate team in the country, spending countless hours raising funds for it so that everybody at our diverse public school is able to compete across the nation. He memorizes everybody’s first name after he meets them and will remember them for the rest of his life.
What makes him so memorable? He is a fabulous, unapologetic, Jewish gay man; a model for so many students who came out to him first for help. His style is inspired with equal parts of George Lucas, Walter Mondale, and Liberace. He can tell you the best place for sushi in Soho, pizza in Midtown, and gumbo in Georgia. But most of all, no person could ever do what he does, at least not with the same enthusiasm and care which he does it.
Sincerely,The Bronx Science HS Debate Team

They forget to mention that while most debate coaches attire at tournaments ranges from a grease-stained hoodie to white socks under a crumpled up pair of khakis matched with an ill-fitting dress shirt, Mr. Cruz’s wardrobe would blend in perfectly with the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies.

“Speaking and debating competitively is the best way to hone so many important skills for life. Confidence in front of an audience? Yes. Poise under pressure? Yes. The skills needed to research? Yes. The ability to speak extemporaneously? Yes. The chance to make friends with peers from across the city, state, and country? Yes. Training to be the leaders of tomorrow? Definitely.Bronx Science has one of the very largest teams in the United States. We have been lucky to be ranked #1 in the country before and we’ve won national titles. I can’t express how awesome it is to work with so many humble, bright kids from so many backgrounds who all share a passion for such a valuable, enjoyable activity.”-Jon Cruz, Coach of the Bronx Science Debate Team
