Wanted to make this two posts. Since they're two different points:

Akash:
I'm a little surprised at this as well. While I see where you are coming from, using the same logic. You could say that some of these students may not participate in building the robot or driving it, so should they go up for the finalist and other awards?

Going by the same point as the original points, we're here not ONLY to be proud of our team and give respect and awards where they DESERVE to go. But we're here to show that sense of gracious professionalism. No matter how many kids you have, you are a team. Like that quote, you win and you lose as a team.

Although, I think as mentors, we all recognize which students are actually deserving and it's important for US to make sure those students are recognized within the team, but when you're outside, it's important to convey the message that you are a team.

It kind of goes back to gracious professionalism, but this time within your team. Not only are we here working as different teams for a better society, but we're working as individuals within a team to create a better community in turn creating a better society.

Also, I believe that the student recognition was an important thing, and hence, why the Dean's List was established, other than that and the WFFA. I believe all other awards are completely team awards.


-That was a lot of stuff, I can spew for days, but you get my point.
