Friends in FIRST keep me going. If the relationships were not there, I would probably not keep doing this.
I really enjoy going to FIRST events and seeing old and new friends. FIRST is like a "family", where we have 1 main thing in common: that we went through the 6 week build process. The fact that we all went through this process together bonds us, kinda like a family. This bond gives us mutual respect and an unspoken association.
A family is a place where you can "pick up" a fellow FIRSTer or you can "correct" them if they are misguided. It's also a place where you can give credit and congrats to a fellow FIRSTer and feel good about it. Also, someone may come along and offer you advice or congratulations when you least expect it. It is very special.
I'll stick around to see friends for a long time. I hope you will too.
