My teammates leaned forward, our minds racing, hearts beating fast. The table was our battlefield, our brains were the weapons. As the moderator read the last question to Round 3 of the Quizbowl Championships, I buzzed in with "phototaxis", a plant's response to light. "Correct!" I hugged my teammates as victory music blared in my mind and invisible confetti rained down from the ceiling.In the three months since I have created the team, I have seen it develop from a meeting among few people to a weekly gathering of passionate players. Although we started the season without enough funding or even proper equipment, our love for trivia carried us far into the competition. I am fortunate to have enjoyed such a great intellectual experience and watch as my team overcome adversity with other teams, despite the lack of support.As we left the room with gleeful smiles, I felt a sense of pride. Like a mother seeing her son taking his first step, I could not have been happier to see my team grow up.
