I agree with THE LUCAS, FIRST has definitely killed most of my shyness. In some ways, FIRST has made me a bit TOO crazy. The 6 week build period really taught me how to cuss....

It is also good to see that high school students CAN make really cool robots. I think many adults are under the impression that teens can't do a professional job on anything, but FIRST showed me that people like us can really do some amazing things.

Oh yeah, and now I cannot bring myself to hate math class like I used to. I'm sure that without FIRST involvement I would have been outta that calc class by now.
