They assumed because all of the other girls wanted to go into the 'corporate' side of the team I would as well. Our team was only a year old when I joined, so it wasn't such a big deal, but I go out of my way now to get girls on the Mechanical team and not to be pushed off into the 'Electrical' group as an afterthought. |

A pro tip on this tangent: If you're the kind of person who carefully decides when to post to make sure your post has value and what you're saying is correct, you are not the kind of person anyone will have any problems with here. :)

And I am planning on making my opinions heard more now that I am going to be a mentor, but I have been on off CD the whole summer getting ready for college. |
Re: If You Could Start Over With Your FIRST Experience...
I would have joined earlier, and would have worked harder freshman year. I joined about 2 weeks into build season, and definitely slacked off too much. Sophomore year I wouldn't have worn black shoes in our cement-dust covered build site. :rolleyes:

I would have made sure I worked with engineers and getting engineers on my team early.

Re: If You Could Start Over With Your FIRST Experience...
My three years on my high school team were amazing, much moreso than anything else I've ever experienced. I wouldn't dare change it. I guess I'll have to join the crowd and say my only change would have been to join a year earlier. Although in my situation I never really had the opportunity to do that. (Which is alright; those three years were just as amazing on their own.)
Seriously...from placing second at our regional my first year to winning a technical award in Atlanta my last, my experience with that team couldn't have been more perfect. I guess one thing I would have done is talked to the mentors about how they did what they did, because I knew from year one I would be a FIRSTer for life. I'm in my second year of college and trying to mentor a local team now, which is quite a different (though still wonderful) experience. |

I would:
- Participate more on chief delphi and encourage my peers to draw on its wealth of knowledge. - Spend more time passing on my knowledge to team members and encouraging new team members to learn (my goal is to only touch the bot to show someone how to assemble a 8020 end fastener for example) - Secure more engineering mentors for my team. |
