The intellectuals: the students who are likely to succeed due to their unmistakable intelligence.

In a high school of more than 3000 people, it seems like it is fairly easy to find the intellectuals, but in reality it is not. All the intellectuals are scattered around the school, taking classes normally people will not take, having loose connections to one another in the sea of imbeciles. 

As a junior, my goals of my high school years have transformed into not only making high GPAs, but also finding those "intellectuals" who will definitely be much help after graduation. Besides, I can also learn a great deal from them just by befriending them.

It's faster than I thought. It start with just one person, and soon I could identify the top 3 most intelligent minds in my class, then the most outspoken 7, then the most talented top 10, then the intellectual 25... The list goes on, and I am amazed by just how I can make friends with all these people, and how much I've learned from them.

Every single day, I am learning new things that I never had thought I would know. 
And it is exactly how I would want it to be like. And much more.

With each person I meet, I encounter a completely different story: a complicated background, a unique  view, an ambitious dream, a caring heart, an unimaginable hardship...

I like the taste of knowing the intellectuals, something highly rewarding as a high school student. 

I know when the final competition comes, I will be prepared. Actually, we all will.
