I'm also feeling a bit weird since I am the only girl out of about 15 kids on the team this year, so I'm hoping I'll start being accepted more as "one of the guys" soon. I just want to know if there's anyone else out there who feels like me. Or somewhat like me.

i'd be more worried about being the only girl among 14 guys... i mean, ur the only one there to keep them sane! ..wait, they're
already insane... well, ur the only one there to keep them from killing themselves...
so yeah, i wouldnt worry too much about being accepted by the guys... they'll certainly realize soon enough how much they need you on the team... i know last year for quite a while i was the only girl (aka til i coerced my friends into joining) and was worried about that, but everything worked out just fine!
im sure you'll do great, and g'luck!

Thanks for making FIRST such a great experience for me. I'm no longer on 1351, and I'm not currently planning to mentor team 97, but FIRST has meant so much in getting me to where I am now, in life and at MIT, class of 2011.
I met Billfred! He recognized me!
