I agree with Mike522, I'll consider myself an alumni of 151, when I throw my cap up at graduation, I no longer go to the school so there for I am not on the team any more.

i agree aaron, when i officially graduate from NHS i will not be on 151 as a student, but i will be returning in january to be a first mentor, and possibly drive coach. but my roots will always be with 151.

Being an alumni is a state of mind really. When you are willing to let go mentally, and decide to offer your help and talent to another team or another field when you move on from high school, that's when you become an alumni for your team.

We have a saying in team 192 GRT, "Once in GRT, always in GRT". You never really let go of the high school team, because it became a part of you when you spend so much time in it. Just look at my picture, I still can't let go of it after 5 years.

Well, I consider my self an alumni when I leave to college. I'll be going to one near Chicago, so I won't be able to be with my Original team - but I WILL still stay in contact.

I hope to join/start another team out there!

(Ppppsssssttttt - If anyone near Chicago is wanting a "seasoned" personnel - let me know! :D

We have a very similar saying on SPAM. I guess I'll agree with the becoming an alumni when I graduate (May 29th). I'm leaving a great team which is growing so rapidly even I, the queen of remembering names, can't keep track of who is who. I just hope I can hook up with the team in Gainesville or (I can't believe I'm saying this..) help others to form a team at the University of Florida. I've been a FIRSTer for six years..I couldn't imagine not being involved.

Well being that most of the members on CD are graduating this year / already Alumni members of their respective Teams. Congradulations to the Graduating class of 2003. Alot of things happened this year that we will never forget. All the economic changes and all the changes FIRST had to make but still kept the competition enjoyable for all that attended.


CONGRADULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2003!!!!!!!

Very well said, I had to go change my sig after that! I wonder what the actual percentage of members are graduating this year??? Would be cool to find out! For me, I'm not sure when I will actually give up driver/operator in my profile..... when I do, it will be a sad day! Maybe after my first FIRST event with 222 I will be motivated to do so.

*Bows to all her FIRST friends* It's been great working with you all..

Proud to be..2003.. (ya..i'm a dork)
