My best FIRST experience? There are a lot... Watching the webcast of our team winning the Championships at Epcot in 2002 (and wishing I was there!)... riding a Segway for the first time at Bash at the Beach in 2003... hearing our essay "All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in FIRST" being read aloud by the emcee at the Mid-Atlantic Regional in 2004... receiving a really nice thank-you card from the Chairman's Award committee that I mentored at the UTC New England Regional in 2004... and recently, starting FIRST NEMO so that mentors like myself can share ideas with each other... but the absolute BEST FIRST experience I get comes every year when I see the impact of the FIRST program on our students. That's priceless!
