It hit me after we lost in the semi's.............

To think that we have invented up to 4 years of our highschool carreer, sacraficing a lot of social interactivity (and a lot of times grades too) and some of us would even say our lives. To have it all come to an end suddenly, all I can say is that I feel lost. With no other team near me I don't know what I will do. FIRST has changed my life in so many ways that I have become dependant on it like many of us fellow FIRSTers have on caffine.

My advice to people who are in the same situation as me. If you can't join a team, either wait for one to come by you, start one, or move to be by one. Also deffinately volunteer every chance you get. You will get a whole new experiance in FIRST and appreciate it even more.

Good luck to everybody graduating this year as we travel out to change the world by spreading the word of FIRST.
