"Academic Decathlon taught me topics I encountered later, and how I study. Things I learned about both art history and discrete mathematics became relevant in later college courses, and I had a nostalgic familiarity with them. I also learned how helpful it was to record myself speaking what I studied and then listen to myself during underutilized time."
