I'll go for it, Jane. After winning the rookie all star award in 2004, 1251 then a rookie team and myself just a sophomore in high school at the time, attended Champships for the first time. We were in a divison with such teams like 67,217 and 254. I remember being in the stands and witnessing the quality of the people on these teams, plus being in a place like the Geogia Dome was a breathtaking experience in itself. Then when I saw 103 winning the championship chairmans award, hearing about the dedication of 103's students and mentors to the FRC program, as well as witnessing the above mentioned teams compete, the light bulb went on for me. I think that whole ride back from Atlanta to South Florida, the team contiually disscussed ways to better ourselves overall.
