[tim-tim]

To be honest, I used to be a young and dumb student who thought the same thing. Then I finally had the chance my junior year of high school to compete in nationals. This is where I was proved wrong!

Boy was I ever wrong. Some the teams previously mentioned took the time to explain to me how they went about doing things, and I was impressed. Most of these "dominant" teams (and I use the word dominant lightly) are year-round teams. There is no off-season or start and stop. It is a continuous process. These students have the luxury having fantastic mentors, and yes maybe a lot more resources than us. So be it. I learned so muh that weekend in Atlanta, and I was proved wrong, and really look up to those teams now.

Thanks JVN.
