Re: Remember Why You Participate in FIRST!
I'm here because I want to make a positive difference in kid's lives! I also enjoy making robots, CNC, CAD, 3D printing, welding, and the like.
I do not enjoy writing grant requests, begging parents to fundraise, dealing with school politics, hoping I have mentors year to year, teenager drama and the endless hours I put in.
When I successfully manage to fund the team, navigate school politics, and inspire the students and mentors to build a great robot; only for the team to get hosed by a bad call is less than motivating or inspiring.
With the money we are paying for registration, the amount of time mentors and students dedicate, and stress we all endure; we deserve the correct calls be made.
