Adam..... do guys actually do those things?!? ) ha ha ha

Okay, I'll ber serious for alittle while. I was curious as to what the other girls arond the FIRST teams are treated like, by their counterparts. Now I have another question to through into the mix of things. How does the other people in your school treat you, knowing you are on your schools robotics team?

Like I have said before, my school ins't known for achademic achivement, but rather being able to run a football or shoot a hoop or run the distance. When our robotics team wears our shirts and things to school, they all look in amazement that a girll can be on robotics. I think this year there are like 15-20 girls on our 75 member roster, there were only a handful that have been around since their freshman year. No one can believe that a girl was smart enough to join the robotics team, eventhough I carry an above average gpa. It also doesn't help that I go to a Public City School, where the drop out rate is overwheelming, drugs are there, and the number of teenagers that have not one not twobut three or more kids and they are only 17. Our program has brought alot of things to our school, and people have noticed and that is why our roster is carrying 75 right now. There is something good happening there besides an athletic game!!
