Hi everyone! I'm Ami and I was at Lan 18.1 and 19.1. CTY was an incredible experience that changed my life, and I'm truly proud to be a CTYer. Heaven really is a place on earth. CTY was the first place where I was able to unabashedly be myself, without fear of humiliation or mockery. Do you really want to live forever? If I could relive those magical three weeks at 18.1 forever, I would. But alas, life moves on. And as hard as it is to acknowledge that I will never be returning to CTY LAN as a camper again, I'm incredibly grateful for the experience in the first place. On a lighter note, you probably know me from Crypto, Game Theory, Four square, the laundry room, or Mao. You also might know me from the sanctions room, since I did a ton of stupid crap in 18.1.

I have so many fond memories of CTY that I'll hold onto for the rest of my life. Here are some of them: chair jousting (18.1), sneaking out of the crypto classroom with Emmett Chen and almost getting caught tons of times (18.1), hanging out with my roommate Lior Gurion (18.1), the last afterdance 19.1, and passionfruit 19.1.

Shoutouts: LAN 18.1: Lior Gurion, Emmett Chen, Duke Hogan-Murphy, Charlie, Arjun, and RA Tyrome; LAN 19.1: Shreyus, Michael, Mark, Emma, Bianca, Oak, Daniel, Niko, Aaron, and everyone at Afterdance/Passionfruit. I also want to thank the awesome medical center helpers whom I often skipped class to have a laugh with!

To all CTYers: You're all awesome. Each and every one of you makes CTY what it is. I CTY you. Keep four square and A.I. alive!

I'm going to miss everyone, but I know I left CTY in good hands. Have fun, and most importantly, be yourself!

Cheers,

Ami (the antisocial dude who sits in the corner even in a room full of nerds)
