After 3 years of hard work, practicing, rehearsing, brainstorming new ideas, and of course, eating snacks, my Odyssey of the Mind team finally got to go to state competition.
Last year I had been so sure that our team was going to go to state, but we forgot a piece to our Rube Goldberg machine. This year I was determined to make it to state.
So all year I worked with my team to create the perfect performance. When we got to the regionals competition, we performed our skit, did our spontaneous, and ate lunch. Later that night, Rebecca and I went to the awards ceremony. We sat in our seats, apprehensive to know if we were going to state. Finally, the judges began to recite the teams going to state that did the Odyssey Angels problem. When the judges called our team name, we just sat there for a second, shocked that we were going to state. Then we broke out of our trance and went up onto the stage. One of the judges slipped the medal around my neck. I smiled as my dad took a picture of us in front of the picture of the odyssey Omer saying "Going to State." When we got back to our seats, I couldn't stop smiling.
