Well today was the MITES automotive competition today. http://www.mites.cc/index_files/auto.htm

Basically it's for any school in Michigan, you go and compete for scholarship money and stuff. First year students have 5 stations to complete and the second,third, and fourth year had 7. This was their largest show up yet, 91 students. They ranked the top 10 in each station. I ranked 9 on the written exam. Kid I was with ranked 8 on the same thing. Two second years I was with didn't rank. Our teacher just wanted us to go this year to see what it's like and what to expect/prepare for next year so we didn't prepare at all this year.

No for what kind of gets me, my teacher said he heard other teachers talking about how they had third and fourth year kids entered into the first year competition, obviously they dominated. I think it's great that I placed 9 in the entire state and all but the fact that kids who have been in autos 2-3 years longer than me come in and take the $1000 scholarship pisses me off. I wish I'd have known that ahead of time because I know I could have done better than if I'd known they were in it then I would have made sure to try my absolute hardest.

P.S. I did walk out with a $500 scholarship though, it's not a ton but it's something. The one advanced kid who entered into the first year contest walked off with about $6000-$8000 in scholarship money. Thats why it pisses me off. The fact that a first year didn't get it because ass hat couldn't make in his own competition so he has to take it from us.

Oh, teacher was laughing as we left, he said the written part was where he least expected us to place. He couldn't get over that.
