Re: Texas 2010
To be honest I think most of it is solely hard work and dedication. That number of people that are that smart is only a small part of the population of SciO. Although I know some teams study for weeks, while people cram the night before competition, and beat the other teams.

Re: Texas 2010
Funds don't matter THAT much. It's all about how much work and effort you put into your events, and helping others on your team with theirs.
It's also good if you're a good test taker, and how competetive you are. Which i'm super.
i'm not expecting nationals this year, but maybe when i'm a seniorr!

Re: Texas 2010
Hey. I am from Roberson ms and this is our first year. The school is brand new. Nobody knows aboutus and were doing okay. I guess. At regionals we got 4th and bekendorf beat us... twice. Riverwood beat us too. But i have faith. Just remember someone has to lose.

Re: Texas 2010
Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh, STATE IS ONLY 23 DAYS AWAY!!! AHHH! Panic time!
Well, I am now staying after school every day until 4 to make sure I medal in everything, and I'm getting anxious about not being ready for some events for OTHER people! Why? Because we ARE going to states! Its sooo going to be us and Beckandorf. They're like a bunch of geniuses, and we're just really motivated.
I'm really considering wearing a sign on my back that says, "Yes, as a matter of fact I AM robodude!" Just because I've been asked several times.
Lets see, I've been asked by srsvball, cypressfalls, and... I think a few others. Well, see you all there!

Re: Texas 2010
I meant that even teams like Roberson can come and sneak up on you and take your spot if you get too arrogant... Just to prove my point that really ANYONE could take those top two National spots. And Roberson, best of luck to you guys as well as everyone elsecypressfalls Robert wrote:aww come'on a dream!?!?!?!?!?!?...kinda mean...lolsrsvball95 wrote:Yeah they arecan't wait to see you at state.
