I love FIRST because it has made me a better person that I would have been, otherwise. FIRST gave me an outlet (or an inlet, if you will) for me to focus my technical interests. Without FIRST, I would most likely have spent much of the past three years playing video games, instead of pursuing technical endeavors. I will forever be grateful for all that it has done for me, and will continue to try to help it to have the same kind of effect on newcomers.

Also, I too would have to say that I love FIRST because of the people whom I have met, through my involvement. I have made friends with people all over the US, from sea to shining sea.

It boils down to two things: The people I've met, and the things I've learned.
