Re: National Wall of Fame and Chairman's awards
We have been given a special place in the eyes of FIRST, have been held up as role models, have been recognized for our achievements, and have been encouraged to do more. During the weekend we had eight different students in the Hall of Fame rotating turns. The people they had a chance to meet (other Hall members, countless team members & mentors, championship sponsors, FIRST judges, FIRST Ambassadors, and coutless dignitaries including Dave Lavery, Woodie Flowers, John Abele, Dean himself) and tell our story to constitutes the most inspiring thing Team 103 has ever done at a FIRST event.

With all of that recognition comes a responsibility to encourage other teams, help them, and celebrate their successes. With all due respect I see the Hall of Fame as breathing more life into FIRST and it's true goal of reshaping the culture.
