NOBEL SCHOLAR COMPETITION (TRIVIA CATEGORY)

On September 19, 2019, I along with my teammates, Matthew and Michelle, and the supporter team, which consisted of Alexandra, Bryan, Keisha, Reynold. Ricky, and Vicky. joined the Noble Scholar Competition in the Trivia Category, and we won the second place. It was actually the first time I made it to the final of any competitions, and I could confidently say that I was proud of myself and my team for being able to make it that far.

The competition itself was pretty difficult. The questions were not too hard to answer, but there was still so much pressure because we had to be faster than our opponents, who were all very smart and talented. Needless to say. I was extremely nervous throughout the entire competition, but with the help of my friends who supported us all the way, I was able to get through it.

The most memorable experience for me was in the final round. We and the opposing team were given a math question, and before I could even write the question down as an equation, they already rang the buzzer and gave the correct answer. It was stunning. I had never seen anyone count that fast before, not even any of my teachers.

Our school also managed to win the award of the Best Supporter Team. I still remember the fanchant the supporters came up with to this day. It was funny, clever, and overall great. No wonder we were able to win that competition.

The highlight of the day, obviously was when we were on the stage receiving our trophies. Everyone, including me, was ecstatic. I'll never forget the smiles on all of our faces, for truly, it was a happy time for all of us. - Kenley Halim
