Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Special Message from the GDC

This message seemed to hit me by surprise. I was at the Autodesk Portland Regional and I have never seen so much cooperation, teamwork, or spirit from any any collection of high school students ever. Or individuals of any age for that matter.

There did not seem to be any boundaries between teams at all. Our team was out cheering for other teams who competed against us, and other teams at times were cheering for us for no apparent reason. Everyone was working to help whoever they could sometimes even if it left their own team at a disadvantage. People seemed to be celebrating just being there and competing.

I knew about the focus FIRST has on gracious professionalism, but to see it at that level in person just blew me away. This was the first regional competition I have ever been to, but I do not think I will ever forget the experience.
