[Bridgette]

I'm one of three girls on my team, and at most meetings, I was the only girl there. I helped with electrical work, wrote our team's Chairman's Award with one of the other girls on the team. I'm also co-captain and manipulator. I was the only girl at most meetings, but I didn't let that stop me from doing anything. It wasn't too hard for me to become part of the team because my brother has been on 121 for 4 years and I know most of the other team members from school. I haven't experienced any discrimination other than good-natured teasing. It's hard to relate to the guys sometimes (like at regionals when they're checking out girls), but we're all one big happy family most of the time.
