I would suggest being more direct than that.

So, yesterday I went up to the captain of my team and said if I don't get forensics i'm going to cry (as a joke, obviously), and one of the older teammates who helped coach my middle school team told her how good a crime i was, and the captain said,"I'll see what I can do". So,the direct approach worked pretty well for me lol.

Like I have a genuine interest and like I actually have experience in birding out in the field and stuff but like idk how to put it into words.
If you're good at it and interested, I see no reason they wouldn't put you on it.
2018: Hovercraft, Thermo, Coaster, Solar System
2019: Thermo, Circuit Lab, Sounds, Wright Stuff
2020: Circuit Lab, Wright Stuff, Machines

Can I request that we delete 2020 from our memories and do it over again?

I mean the only way to stop something like that would be to ban users, and probably several of them might be spambots :P
