[bam-bam]

I joined FIRST simply because when I heard about the robotics club at the freshmen orientation last year, I thought, "Well, cool. It's a robot that's working. That looks cool." I attended the first meeting for robotics, which was like after school on Tuesday. I missed a few meetings (because I was on the XC team also) by accident. The 2010 kickoff came around then. After the announcement of Breakaway, I was literally thrown into a frenzy that I wasn't aware about. 1529 then made the trip to DC, and that was when I knew where I was supposed to be.

The thing though was that from the beginning FIRST was very faaaaar back in my head. I had music and running going on for me at the time, and the last thing I needed to worry about robotics. I'm glad the Mom kept pushing me to go on Tuesdays.
