FIRST has given me...
The opportunity to further my education. The outstanding gift of a single inspired student and their smiles. The outlet from a competitive, angsty teenager to a someone who wants to do something more for their community. The stability of creating my own life. The power to inspire others. The amazement of creation. The lesson that kids can do anything, if you let them. The crutch for me to lean on. The open door to a better world.
Without FIRST, I would not have gone to college. I would not have met any of the great people I know today. I would not have the courage, strength, and will to get the job done.
FIRST has this great way of picking people up from the depths of their lives, and giving them something to lean on. FIRST has given me everything, and I am trying very hard to give it back.
