This is not so much about how a single person has inspired me but how FIRST and my involvement in FIRST has inspired me to seek a career in engineering, and i know that people hear this all the time, but before i worked on this project or before i started working with engineers (i.e. Jules Scogna and Ken Wilson), i didnt know what i wanted to do. FIRST has provided me with more closure, before this experience started, about 2 years ago, i absolutely did not want to be an engineer. Now i want to help people like me, when i get older, compete in the FIRST competition so they might get the same closure i did. I know you dont have to be an engineer to inspire people but u want to be able to provide the same inspiration that maybe a teacher or adult volunteer couldn't. I want to spread the same positive messge that our engineers have worked so hard to spread. Ken Wilson and Jules Scongna, Thank You. FIRST and Dean Kaeman, Thank You.

See you all in Nats.
Good Luck
