I was president and the entire year was dedicated to giving our team a chance to get to state for the first time in years. I also made 2 real teams this year. We didn't get to state but were the 10th school overall so we were 4 places away. I did not do as well at regionals as I would have liked but the year overall was successful.

My first year consistently placing. I finally redeemed myself for my failure at regionals the previous year and improved the team as Vice President. I also began test-writing this year.

Green Generation was stolen from me due to the event conflict with Dynamic Planet and Ornithology was gone, so I focused mainly on Forestry. I was also Secretary for the team this year. My effort culminated in my failure at regionals, being one place away from a medal due to stress making me blank on the dreaded Station 15. I vowed for revenge (and made my discord status "😭 STATION 15" which did not change until next year's regionals).

I joined the Science Olympiad club at my school because I was a birder and Ornithology interested me. However, Ornithology was stolen from me due to the event conflict with Dynamic Planet. Although I didn't really place this year I had a fun experience learning about different events. (I have no recollection of the 119th place nor would I like to)
