Hey team, this is my third and final badminton ACAMIS, and I honestly don’t even know how to put into words how much this tournament, this team, and all these memories mean to me. Thinking about it being my last one makes me emotional, because I know how much I’m going to miss every part of it, the matches, the energy, the support, and most of all, being able to fight alongside all of you.

Over these past three years, we’ve grown so much, and I’m really proud of how far we’ve come. Winning our first ever ACAMIS medal together in my final year is something I’ll always carry with me. It means even more because I got to experience it with this team. I truly believe that making it to Bowl Division is only the beginning, the first milestone in what will continue to be an even greater journey toward the Cup.

I’m so proud of every single one of you for how you played and how hard you fought throughout the tournament. No matter the results, you all gave so much, and that is something to be proud of. Even though we had some really close losses, please don’t let that hurt your confidence. Let it remind you of how close you already are, and let it push you to keep growing, improving, and becoming even better in the future.

I also just want to say thank you, truly. Thank you for all the support, thank you for the trust, and thank you for making this experience so special for me. The hotel clap-out meant so much more than I can explain, and moments like that are the ones I’ll never forget. I genuinely have no regrets about skipping prom for ACAMIS, especially because it meant spending this time with all of you. That is something I will always cherish.

Thank you for giving me such a meaningful final ACAMIS. I’m going to miss this more than I can say.

And please, make sure to keep the Sam’s Club tradition alive if Keystones still hosting next year.

I ain’t gonna lie, this is probably the most intense ACAMIS tournament I’ve attended. Before the trip even started, I’ve heard that almost all my teammates have at least 2 summative due shortly after the tournament. But despite the pressure of meeting deadlines, the whole team stayed strong, disciplined, and energetic.
There were lots of highs, and lows. Some great wins, and some tough losses. Other than the wins and losses, what surprised me the most is how much my teammates have improved, in terms of both skill and mentality. We were always ready for the upcoming game, no matter what happened.
Apart from the intense competitions, I’ve enjoyed some interesting time with my interesting teammates. I’ll probably never forget my man Kaiser’s flawless voice when he sings.
Words can’t describe my feelings right now, but I feel truly grateful for my teammate’s contributions. Not only the ACAMIS team, but the badminton team as a whole, including the coaches and staff that has been taking care of the team.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. It has always been my honor to be a part of the team.

This year’s badminton ACAMIS tournament truly was a memorable journey for me. Every moment I spent, both on and off the court, was really exciting and hard to forget. Throughout every game, I could see every one of our teammates giving it their all and performing at the peak of their skills. There was always energy in the air, and everyone was supporting one another. Regardless if our teammates were currently in a winning position or losing, no matter the situation, our team has lift each other up and been really supportive for each other. And with just that team spirit alone, it meant more than any medal we could have gotten.

During these three days, our team faced many ups and downs. We had times where we faced some tough losses and challenges that got everyone feeling down a little. However, we were able to push through; our team never gave up, kept trying, and eventually earned a well-deserved second place in the Bowl Division. Overall, this was a very good experience for our whole team and helps all of us improve.

Every single person on our team contributed to our achievements, and I want to give a great thanks to my teammates, our coaches, and all our supporters. Our encouragement between each other kept my self and the rest of our team going even when we felt low or nervous. I believe that as we bonded over this tournament, in the future we will only do even better, go even further, and get stronger together.

As graduating senior Kaiser said, “Making it to the Bowl Division is only the first milestone on our journey toward the Cup.” This ACAMIS campaign not only brought home a historic national runner-up trophy and two Top 8 individual finishes, but also forged resilience, reflection, and deep camaraderie. I would like to thank my coaching team (Mr. Morris, Mr. Lee) and all the school supporters for their dedication. The ISNS badminton team’s future is brighter than ever!

大家好，这是我第三次也是最后一次参加羽毛球ACAMIS。我甚至不知道该如何用语言表达这个赛事、这支队伍以及所有这些回忆对我有多重要。想到这是最后一次，我情绪激动，因为我知道我会多么想念这里的一切——比赛、能量、支持，最重要的是，能够和你们并肩作战。
过去三年，我们成长了很多，我为我们取得的进步感到骄傲。在我最后一年，我们一起赢得了学校历史上第一枚ACAMIS奖牌，这将永远伴随着我。更特别的是，我能和这支队伍一起经历这一切。我坚信，打进碗级只是开始，是我们向杯级迈进征程中的第一个里程碑。
我为你们每一个人感到骄傲——为你们的拼搏和付出。无论结果如何，你们都倾尽了全力，这本身就值得骄傲。虽然我们输掉了一些很接近的比赛，但请不要让这打击你们的信心。让它提醒你们，你们已经如此接近胜利，并推动你们继续成长、进步，在未来变得更强。
我还想说一声真正的谢谢。谢谢你们的支持，谢谢你们的信任，谢谢你们让这次经历对我如此特别。酒店的夹道鼓掌欢送比我所能表达的还要有意义，那样的时刻我永远不会忘记。我真的毫不后悔为了ACAMIS而放弃毕业舞会，尤其是因为它意味着能和大家共度这段时光。我会永远珍惜这一切。
感谢你们给了我如此有意义的最后一届ACAMIS。我会无比想念这一切。
还有，如果明年鼎石学校还主办的话，请一定把Sam's Club的传统传承下去。

说实话，这大概是我参加过的最激烈的一届ACAMIS。出发前我就听说，几乎所有的队友在赛后都有至少两项总结性评估要交。但在截止日期的压力下，全队依然保持坚强、纪律严明和充满能量。
有很多高光时刻，也有低谷。有一些漂亮的胜利，也有一些艰难的失利。除了输赢，最让我惊讶的是我的队友们在技术和心态上的巨大进步。无论发生什么，我们总是准备好迎接下一场比赛。
除了激烈的比赛，我和这些有趣的队友一起度过了很多有趣的时光。我大概永远不会忘记我的兄弟Kaiser唱歌时那完美的嗓音。
此刻我无法用言语表达我的感受，但我真心感谢每一位队友的付出。不仅仅是这次的ACAMIS队伍，而是整个羽毛球队，包括一直照顾队伍的教练和工作人员。
所有这些时刻，都会像泪水消逝在雨中一样被时间冲刷而去。能够成为这个团队的一员，一直是我的荣幸。

今年的羽毛球ACAMIS对我来说真是一次难忘的旅程。我在场上场下度过的每一刻都令人激动、难以忘怀。在每一场比赛中，我都能看到我们每一位队友拼尽全力，展现出巅峰的技术。空气里始终充满了能量，每个人都在互相支持。无论队友当时是领先还是落后，无论什么情况，我们的团队总是彼此扶持、相互支持。仅凭这份团队精神，它就比任何我们可能获得的奖牌都更有意义。
在这三天里，我们经历了很多起起伏伏。有些时候我们遭遇了艰难的失利和挑战，让大家有些低落。但是，我们都挺了过来；我们的团队从未放弃，不断努力，最终当之无愧地获得了碗级第二名。总的来说，这对全队是一次非常好的经历，也帮助我们所有人进步。
队里的每个人都为我们的成就做出了贡献，我要非常感谢我的队友、教练以及所有支持我们的人。我们之间的鼓励让我和整个团队在情绪低落或紧张时仍然坚持了下来。我相信，通过这次比赛建立起的纽带，未来我们只会做得更好、走得更远、一起变得更强。

正如毕业班队员 Kaiser 所言，“打进碗级只是第一个里程碑，未来我们一定会向杯级（Cup Division）发起冲击。”本次ACAMIS之旅不仅收获了历史性的全国第二和单打双八强的佳绩，更让每一位队员在磨砺中成长，在合作中凝聚。感谢我的教练团队（Mr. Morris, Mr. Lee）以及所有学校支持者的付出。ISNS羽毛球队，未来可期！
