Re: Who did you get to meet/want to meet at nationals?
Ok, so I started making a list of everyone I met at Championships in Word and ended up realizing by the time I had continued on to a third page and still had tons more to add that I had met far too many people to list in this thread. I had a simply fantastic time. I was given the opportunity to talk and hang out with so many fantastic people and made some great friendships along the way. The fact that I had the chance to converse with so uncountable members, mentors, advisors, volunteers, judges, ambassadors, company heads, heads of FIRST, and so many others was truly amazing. Being able to meet some of you who I talk to practically everyday over AIM and phone for the first time and who I consider to be family was such a significant experience. It was great finally getting to be with my "Indian children" (love you all!) and having our "family" together for the first time with a few new additions as well. Of course, it was also awesome getting the chance to talk with my soon-to-be classmates at Carnegie Mellon from a number of teams. I loved being able to get together with all of my FIRST sisters and brothers, some of my closest friends. I miss you all terribly and truly hope that I will get to see you all again sometime, hopefully soon.
To all those I met (you know who you are), thank you all for making Championships such an awesome event for me, perhaps one of the best ever! Please make sure to keep in touch with me!
