It has allowed me to network myself. I know people from around the country, and people around the country know me. There is no other program that provides such networking so quickly. Life is all about connections, that is what will get you somewhere.
The other main thing FIRST has done for me is to make life without it seem boring and dull. That is why so many of us are so committed.
Without FIRST, I'd be staring at the ceiling making friends with shadows on my wall - just like Matchbox Twenty.
