Thank you! FIRST has become such a huge part of my life in the 3 years I've been actively involved on the team, I remember joining the team after my friend Kevin told me about it my freshman year, but it was too late to join already. I ended up joining my sophomore year, but had no idea what I might want to do with my life. I have since then decided I want to continue working with engineers, but on the business-end. FIRST has helped me shape my life decisions, and I for one definately want to stay involved with FIRST and hopefully give back to the incoming kids the same experience my mentors gave me. So I guess what I'm trying to say is a big thanks to all the mentors, whether they be engineers, college students, teachers or parents. I want to be just like you guys.
