Then again, this is our 4th year as a team so we've only yet begun to mature.
Our team's 2002 the work and power was tipped way over to the students, except for deciding who goes on the trips. It was out of control. Mentors were not respected by students. The team was divided. There were disagreements that nearly came to blows.

Our team was about to go under.

Then my and another family committed to being the backbone of the team - the constant of the team.

No near blows in Season 2003. Huge strides made by our team. That was our 7th year in the program - guess our team's been slow learners, then sudden BIG explosion of growth.
