I was a Gallaudet student representative, and I volunteered to work as a Powerpoint Operator/Scorekeeper. The last time I went to the AB was in 2004, as a student at Champion High School (our only showing in the history of the school). We placed in 4th and we won the Sportsmanship Award, which was quite an honor. That experience was excellent, and this one was just as excellent. I am fortunate enough to have participated in the AB both as a student participant and as a student volunteer, because I know not many students have that opportunity. I have met a lot of wonderful high school students from all over the Midwest, and I am impressed with their intelligence, as most of the questions were not easy. I applaud John Hersey High School and Indiana School for the Deaf for their excellent 1st and 2nd place finishes. I look forward to working the National Academic Bowl, and I expect it to be hotly contested between several teams. Since coming back from Spring Break, I have been on the go, doing this and that, and I've barely had time for myself. The end of the semester is coming to an end soon, as we only have 5 weeks of classes left. Because of that, I have a lot of papers and projects to complete, some of which I better start now, so until later, take care!
