Uh…I should probably say this somewhere other than a quickly forgotten reply to an earlier SU.
Spoilers for length and probably being boring:
SpoilerI compete in a program called National History Day. It is extremely competitive, and my school is one of the best in the nation for this competition. This is my third year competing. There are 4 levels of competition you can advance to: regionals, state, nationals, then finals in nationals. There are 5 categories of project, and I chose documentary. This year, at the regional level I placed poorly, bad enough that usually I wouldn’t advance to state, but because of Covid things are still a little weird. Regardless, I advanced and was given the push I needed to greatly improve my project. At state, my project placed first of seven (I think that’s how many there were), and so I advanced to the national level. My goal is to make finals, which is the top ten projects from each category, choosing from projects mostly in the US but some around the world as well. I would really love to get top 3 in the nation, and I’m going to be working towards it.
Also, going to nationals means I get to spend over a week in Washington DC with the others from my school who made it. There are 13 of us.
I’m the only boy.
Most of my good friends didn’t make it (largely a result of poor judging). The trip will be interesting.
Uhh…what am I forgetting…
I think that’s it.
Anyway, basically I’m the only boy (other than my teachers) going to a 7+ day trip in June. Hopefully it’s fun.
Oh yeah, if anyone wants to see my project, a ten minute long documentary on Toy Story, PM me, and I think I’ll need your email and I can send it to you.
