Empty tents
Last year, after the awards and while most teams were on their way to the Disney Party, I walked through one of the tents and stepped up onto the playing field. (I've never been on a field before). It was like the ending of a scifi movie - you know where there is only one left and all the energy of those who went before is in the air and permeates your body? It was like I could feel the floor vibrate from the stomping, my eardrums were pressured from the decible levels in the room and my heart grew and grew because of all the positive energy in the air.
The I looked around to see if anyone was watching, a little embarassed perhaps. I walked out of the tent and walked by the Judge's Quarters. I peeked in the window and there was one of our TEAM 343 balloons tied to a chair. That's when the tears started.
Thank you to every FIRST dreamer, yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's - for allowing me to have a part in this most incredible event.
See you at EPCOT!
