Thank you so much for your gracious comments Mr. Rich Kressly. I am a High school senior and FIRST has taught me how to take on challanges and solved them. It is great to see that I am part of a group where I have mentors who are inspiring me constantly. All those words from a few people that comes to my ear (upsetting ones) goes away by all this inspiration.
There have been times for the past 3 years of my high school life where I came very close to quit robotics. Even my parents were against it until they realized how much I want to do this. But one thing I do want to point out, every single member on your team is valuable, every single one of them has talents that can come to use for the team. We are a team.
Now the 6 week build period... the past 3 season I went through, it felt like time was flying. Once you have a challenge that you have to solve, it gets critical and every one on the team has to be very calm in order to solve the problem correctly.
I want to thank all my friends who have been very supportive (you guys know who you are, most of you will read this post). Also I want to thank my parents and my little bro. How can I forget all the mentors. Mentors (college students, engineers) in FIRST has shown me what I can do with my life.
Now I am a senior and Thanks for making the best time of my life throughout my FIRST experience as a student.
AREFIN WILL BE BACK!!!!
