procrastinating, it is also extremely important that you read the competition rulebook before, while, and
after doing your project. The rulebook involves very specific and detailed requirements that, if not met,
could disqualify you. Don’t let your event grade go down because you violated one of the rules!
Although competitive events are a big part of TSA, you should also consider planning your trip. Make
sure to book your hotels and arrange transportations if needed. Finally, look forward to it! You will get a
chance to meet new faces and have lots of fun!
Why you should consider state office: Being a state officer has been extremely benefitting. It has
taught me many things that I couldn’t have learned in a classroom - responsibility, team work, efficiency,
time management, and many more. Holding a state office also increases your involvement with TSA, and
my position has ensured my heavy involvement despite the heavy school work. This organization has
incredible possibilities and opportunities that you may not find outside. Being on the team also gives you
close friends that you will always keep in touch with! Special shoutout to State Treasurer, Claire Huang,
thanks for being my big sister. I will never forget you and will try to not miss you too much… you have
impacted me greatly with your positive attitudes and encouragements.Good luck and have fun at
college!
I hope these tips and advices will help you guys! As a junior in high school, I’m currently dealing
with the struggle of SAT and balancing school with extracurricular. Although I get depressed at times
due to failures, I will never give up. This leads to my last advice for this month: never give up, never
surrender.
