Re: College FIRSTers: What was your transitional year?
I have actually been tempted many times to sort of back away from FIRST this year; to just back out. I guess starting a team my freshman year was probably a little intense... But now, even in my moments of absolute despising this team, one of the kids will do something that reminds me why I did this. Our team is a family now, and I think that my new family will do a lot for holding me together in the next 3 years.

As to there being more out there to explore, I most certainly agree! I have gotten involved in a lot of random things as well as a really fun group pertaining to my major. (and yes, I am passing my classes with all the extracurriculars) I love college, but I also need to be a part of FIRST. I found out a long time ago that this is where I have the ability to fit in; it's where I found the confidence to find myself.
