## High School (In-Person)
In high school, for some variety of reasons, I became a lot less interested in the math part of Math Team and more interested in the team part. I became underclassmen representative, then treasurer, then president[^2]. I admit I was much more excited by the organization of events like [CCAMB](https://ccamb.org/) and organizing trips rather than doing things like writing the problems or taking part in those trips (as my fellow officers know all too well). The positions I had mattered a lot less than I cared about them at the time; it was mainly being able to be part of the organization and decision-making process that made me happiest.

There's not too much to say about my competitive performance, other than that it was largely mediocre (for my standards, at least). I forgot to divide (or multiply) by 2 in 10th grade, resulting in an almost USAJMO qualification. I forgot what a symmedian was in 12th grade, resulting in an almost USAMO qualification. I didn't remain invested enough to physically travel for other competitions, except for [HMMT](https://www.hmmt.org/) and [M3C](https://m3challenge.siam.org/) (to be discussed in future posts).

What's interesting is that, for the most part, I no longer care about these results, even just a year later. Time has truly washed away the expectation and stress that came with it; part of it, perhaps, is being completely done with the college application process. Part of the reason why I found HMMT and M3C so fun was that, especially in senior year, there was nothing riding on my results.

## Writing Papers
For those that do not know this challenge, the [Mathworks Math Modeling Challenge](https://m3challenge.siam.org/) is an international[^1] competition with about 650 teams (in 2024) of up to 5 students competing. These teams work for **fourteen consecutive hours** (a whole day) to write an up to 20 page scientific paper (excluding code and citations) on a problem, usually ingrained in the real world, utilizing math models (who could've guessed). These math models are supposed to project how certain aspects of the project theme will behave in the future. Students additionally must defend their models, providing justifications for assumptions made and explaining the though process in addition to the results of the model. Only upperclassmen (11th/12th graders) are allowed to participate.

9 lucky teams make it to the Finals, a (nearly) all-expenses paid trip to New York City. In addition to this, students are guarenteed a scholarship for college, up to 20000 dollars for first place (4000 per student).
