I made it to state! I was so surprised by what happened when Mr. Fleming told me that I had made state as an individual that I actually collapsed. It was amazing! Sadly, I didn't make it in Science though. Here's how it all went down.
Science: Well I guess I'm done with science with Mr. Viray this year. He was definitely one of my best science teachers going through high school, and I'm definitely going to miss him a lot. At Regionals, I made a 94. I was actually 2 questions away from advancing as the top biology contender, and I was 3 questions away from advancing as the top chemistry contender. I was definitely sad, but I definitely had fun and I learned a lot in my journey.
Computer Science: I still can't believe I actually made it! I got 2nd place as an individual. Sadly, no one else on my team made in the top 3, so it was time to bust it out on programming. Joe, Andy, and I had probably one of the biggest battles of our lives against Kennedale that day. Both of us ended up answering only 3 problems, which meant that Kennedale advanced over us because they were 40 points ahead of us. We had actually turned in a problem in the last 90 seconds of competition, but we got it back wrong. Afterwards, Mr. Fleming said that the judge's answer sheet was wrong on the problem that we turned in, and we still had a chance of making it if we were perfect with the code. We missed it by one line. It was sad seeing my team not advance with me. I actually cried a little, but it was definitely an experience that I will remember for quite a while.
