Re: Should I join robotics again or not?

This type of discussion might be better served in the FAHA forum. It is set up so that a person can create a thread discussing problems or asking questions regarding team matters in more of an anonymous setting.

That said, regarding your post - I have a question for you. Are you prepared to be a team member? You have stated your credentials that you feel are valuable to the robotics team but they only talk about you. An important part of what you can contribute to the team is being a team player, developing skills in areas that are needed. It can mean that you listen as well as you talk. It can mean that you learn to appreciate and value the skills of your teammates. It can mean that you show leadership by being a key team player and sharing your knowledge. It can mean a lot of things. When considering rejoining the team for your senior year in high school, it presents a valuable opportunity for you to talk with your extraordinary mentors and discuss your concerns and ideas with them as you think about this. The senior year is a special year and only comes around once. Sharing that experience with your teammates on 842 would be very special.
