Re: What have you given up for FIRST?

Sadly, I have given up some of the time I should have spent with my daughter. This was several years ago. Nonetheless, she was hurt and for that I still feel some pain even now. For the last several years our relationship has been very good and we have made time to spend with each other. I share this personal information with you so perhaps you can learn from it and avoid making the same mistake that I did when I did not have the proper balance in my life (family/work/community/FIRST, etc.)

In the past 4 years I have given a very substantial amount of my time and energy to FIRST. I have spent a lot of quality time with many different students from my own team and others. I believe I have been a positive influence in their lives and I feel richer for having known each and every one of them.
