I love to be involved in things so I joined about 1 or 2 weeks into it. It was fun... and it really changed me in a good way.
Going into competition I had no idea what to expect. Being a rookie team and all. I feel that we fit in very well, T-shirts, signs, cheers, a robot that seeded 5th. It made me feel so good. And all the people were so friendly, it was so amazing, everyone was there for eachother and helped eachother.. it was like one of the greatest things to take part in.
I especially loved the team social. It was deffinately a bonding time between me and members of my own team... it was amazing, and now its gunna be so hard letting the seniors go! I have learned so much from FIRST and I am very said that we are not signed up fro regionals or nationals.
