FIRST has taught me that I am an individual. As the individual I can complete any task that may be thrown at me.
FIRST has taught me that there are caring people in the world. I have made more friends throughout the world from FIRST than I ever had the opportunity to make in school.
FIRST has taught me to win graciously, and I have even tried to learn how to loose graciously!

FIRST has brought to me the love of my life. And, above all - FIRST has taught me self worth.
Thank you - FIRST
