haha, eww is right. i don't see how ANY human being could manage all those activities, maintain those grades, while STILL having the energy and time commitment to be a football/basketball captain?</p>

<p>i want to know their secret, man.

<p>They deprived themselves of sleep to the point where they shaved 10 years off their lives</p>

<p>"a side note: i find it interesting that an overwhelming majority of the candidates did something involving science/math. is it just me, or is there a bias?"</p>

<p>I think is reason for that is the fact that there are more opportunites for awards/recognition in math and science compared to the humanities.</p>

<p>Of course there is. People in the world care more about doctors and engineers than they do historians and poets.</p>

46

<p>yeah sunshine...so these people may be impressive but there are tons of them in their fields...woohoo for humanities people!</p>

<p>also, historians and poets aren't the humanities counterparts of doctors and engineers. i would go with lawyers and politicians.</p>

<p>I know someone from the 2004 Honorable Mention and another from the 2005 Third Team. They're normal people, really. They often spend their summers immersed in those math/science projects, so they're not loaded with so much stuff during the year. That way, they would be capable of maintain excellent academic performance, right? :)</p>

<p>The thing I am most jealous about is that they seem to have focused plans for the future. If one gets that, the rest can follow.</p>
