My favorite part of every event is during the awards ceremony. Specifically, during the Chairman's presentation. Specifically, when the MC is reading the 4 line "poem" that the judges create. Specifically, when the MC reads the third line and the team that won knows that they won. The team always, always tries to contain themselves and never can. The look of pure joy, relief, happiness, and pride contained on the faces of the students that put so much work and effort into their Chairman's presentation is priceless. That moment is my favorite part of every event. By that point, I've spent at least 50 hours in the venue over the past 4 days and I'm completely exhausted, but that moment wipes everything away and reminds me why I continue to participate in the program.
