I am so proud
. First question from Amanda, and its so good! (where is your question John
. but don't bother replying to my question in this thread
)
Oh boy, how do I begin? The friends and mentor I met in FIRST are the reasons why I am the person I am today. Without them, I would be some where struggling to figure out what I want to do with my life, and how to do it.
My FIRST friends are my inspiration and motivation to do more with my life, and the best support when I needed someone.
Just a few examples... Without the support of one of the friends, I probably would've done something really stupid that would've ended my life.
Without the imspiration and support from a mentor, I would have done so much in WRRF and teach workshops and run off season competitions.
Then the bunch of good friends I met in FIRST are the best friends I have. You know who you are.
Think think FIRST's atmosphere had a lot to do with these friendships... Especially back at year 2001 when all 4 teams worked together... Without that year, there wouldn't have such a strong friendship and bonding between teams in FIRST and especially in WRRF over here. But I also believes it depends on the people... If they want it bad enough, they are willing to put aside their status on teams and reach out to others, which is what happened.
