John V-Neun, my FIRST hero

Hey John, you are famous!

John is one of my many heroes in FIRST... He is someone I could closely relate to, because not only is he a FIRST-a-holic, but he is also a college student and a mentor. It is from this similar interesting/stressful growth experience that I find things happening to him that I thought would only happen to me. Because of that, and because of the same passion for FIRST and its impact, I was able to find a friend who I can talk to about things I really care (and stressed out about). He is the top choice of people I want to hang out with at competition.

But don't get me wrong; John and I are nothing alike. We are like the opposite ends in FIRST. I particularly love the overall picture of FIRST, and what it's doing to the culture, and getting events working... John, on the other hand, is totally into the game and its strategy every year, running and coaching the team, and the design of robots, and the competitive side of the competition... Those are things I wish I could've spent more time in. He is like the part I am missing for the game.

But no need ;-). I have John to tell me all about it.

Plus he speak English (and do it really well), and I don't .


I really think John truly deserve to be first UFH. He is always the one that sticks out in my mind when I think about the truly dedicated people in this competition. He don't do it to feel special or anything... He do it for the love of the competition. It doesn't get any better than that!

I would be proud to have John on the partner alliance in the finals, but too bad, I am running the scoring software
. (You better buy me that dinner soon! And I want steak and lobster!)

But anyway... At the end, I can only say... Hey John, buddy, you are famous!
