Dear my decathletes...
I am going away now, off to a nice place called UCSD. But dont think I will ever forget about Academic Decathlon! For me, it was a good experience, I have to say not because I was a good decathlete, and not because I really liked to study. But it really let me step up and try to become a leader, something I wanted to get better at! It highlighted my ups and downs, and let me interact with a beautiful bunch of wonderful people! And I have to tell you, it's not an easy job, but you learn to mold and manipulate the mind. Adolf Hitler, despite his cruel intentions was a great leader. He manipulated people to kill and subjugate and do things people would never think of doing. Similarly, a leader should be able to manipulate the decathletes into thinking studying is fun, and it's not an easy job. So when a leader rises up, and makes it fun enough and effective enough to win medals at competition, I respect you and I will bow down to you!
As for everyone else who is not a leader, I respect you, but in a different kinda way. I respect that you come to this new foreign club and try to do something not many people like to do. And sometimes you find a hidden gem that's really good at this decathlon stuff, and you could even make money off this kind of talent! And I want to tell you one thing... If you get yourself into decathlon and decide that it's not your thing, no worries, theres nothing stopping you from quitting. And if you do get involved, dont give it half your effort, or quit halfway through. Or even if you've given it a year, and you hate it, don't feel obligated to redeem yourself. Dont do anything your heart isn't interested in doing. Just make good use of the time you have, because you have so little of it. Best wishes to anyone who passes this message! I just wanted to share my feelings :3 Good luck to you all!
