placing in the top twenty. Nonetheless, I did place twenty-first. I was pleased with what I had accomplished in my first year of being on the team.

At Regions last year we were given whole trees to look at. Regions went better than last year’s State because it was still early enough in the morning that the sun was not in our eyes. Also,…

Medina, Minnesota, “a prosperous, suburban edge City” is the place I call home. Now, living in the 82,575-person college town of Bloomington, Indiana, makes my quaint little hometown of 5,221 seem irrelevant. Being away from home for the first time in my life makes me appreciate the state of Minnesota more than I ever expected; I can even say that I miss my little area of the world, Medina. Initially when presented with this project I thought I would focus on Minneapolis, a city of 400,070,…
