thanks to bill, bryan, and daryll from team 71. when we needed a nut for a pneumatic cyllender, they looked for 10 minutes, then offered to head back to the shop and have one for us in the morning. turns out we didn't need it...but it was nice to see people willing to go the extra mile.
i'd like to thank andy baker. he never fails to be honest but caring, plus he introduced me to brandon martus!
i'd like to thank all the people from 461 for cheering for us.
i'd like to thank our chairman's team for working so hard to put our chairman's together.
i'd like to thank David Kelly for keeping me excited about FIRST and showing me that it doesn't have to end with graduation.

Well, thank you Collin. I am so proud to say that I was/ still am a part of Cyber Blue 234. There are only 3 of us on the team now that have been there since the beginning. Our team has come a long way and it's amazing to see how far we have grown together. I have made many friends and met some really awesome kids and people from this program. There's nothing that can really be said to thank everyone who has inspired me. Not only the older mentors, but also the current students.

FIRST doesn't end after high school, for some of us, it is only beginning.

I WILL be a FIRST employee one day...
