I applied for the Northeastern Full Tuition FIRST Scholarship... I didn't win it.

But I think because I talked about FIRST in all my essays anyway that I've been able to get all of tuition covered by scholarships these past two years...

When looking at colleges I knew I was going to be addicted to FIRST. But I knew I wasn't ready for the responsibility of starting a new team or picking up one that has really fallen apart... I wanted to be on a team where the school really backed it up.

Including location and ability to persue other hobbies (hiking, backpacking, skiing, kayaking, scuba diving)... I've found my match. I love it here.
