On the way home from nationals it hit me.....I am now past my name of being a "student" in FIRST. After we lost our last match i moved from that classifcation to mentor. I am really excited that i will be able to mentor other people next year, but its just hard to think for as long as i am involved with FIRST i will never be able to be a operator or human player. That makes me sad cause i love controlling the robot and working on it and now i have to take step back and watch teh students do it and its just hard i guess and i guess iw ill get use to it.

Next year i will be joining a new team 1083 with George, Nathan, and Andrew and i am reawlly excited to be with this team they have a great future ahead, but then i am becomign a alumni of 710 and that has hit me the hardest. I have been with the team since it was a rookie 2001 and i am one of the orginal members and its just sad that i will be moving on from that team. I have my roots in that team and its just going to be hard to move on and i mean i will only be three hours away from them in college but i dont know i am just going to miss it..


Sorry guys i just had to let that off my chest cause it hit me hard on the drive home today

What are other seniors planning to do now since they are moving on.
