Our school, despite currently building a new science building, tried to act like we didn't exist until we won the Rookie All Star Award. That's right, they ignored a ROBOT TEAM despite building a new building JUST FOR SCIENCE.

They really should brag about how we, as students, secured 10k, a partnership with an Ivy League school, and ran, on our own, such a highly intensive program as FIRST.

But they don't.

Fact is, FIRST is a LOT of work, that only select students are into, and is relatively unknown. The only hope is that 30 years from now, over half hte nation is involved, and our kids won't have to fight their schools.

Honestly, Dean is right. We need to spread FIRST. Our team alone is aiming to get 3 new teams running next year. What with various people going off to various colleges, it's more than possible. By getting more people involved it makes it more mainstream and makes it more normal and more respected.

Aside from that, all you can do is never give up. There is always a way. We hit eveyr possible sang this year, and we kept on going. So always keep on going. The only way is contant perseverance. And we all know it's worth it.
