Wow this is cool! Thanks for all the replies...I hope to get more soon!
Now for mine I guess...
At first, I didn't like FIRST. I guess it was because I wasn't having much fun during the building season. Not because of the workload, but because of personal stuff within my team. But then once it got to competition time, I realized it's so much more. It's fun, it's educational, it's..just plain amazing.
On my team, we have all kinds of people from so many different backgrounds, we speak 11 different languages among my team, we are gonna have at least five or so girls on our team next year (aside from myself). It's just plain amazing how different people from different backgrounds and countries come together to work together and spend time with one another, to work on one robot, in one competition, in one program. Everytime I think about it, it shocks me more and more. FIRST has taught me more than I could ever get from one program. My team is so great and wonderful I wouldn't trade them for another. I just plain love it, and hope to learn so much more in the future.
