After a strong performance at regionals, DECA is working towards State and Internationals. The team has seen an improvement in cohesion and preparation from the last year that spells out success in the future.
“We actually have a study pathway now,” sophomore Raanya Rai said. “I feel like everybody has the same goal, and we’re all working together.”
Rai, who had competed in Internationals last year, believes her daily preparation puts her on track to placing at them again. Part of this preparation? Through role plays.
“Basically, you get a prompt, and then you have to act like whatever character you’re given or whatever situation that you’re in, and then you have to show your skills,” Rai said.
