Re: Girls,Why did you join FIRST???
When I first came to UDHS, the first person I became friends with is Dan Troy, who is one of the sons of our mentor Joe Troy. Dan became my best friend and he could never stop talking about robotics, that he is making Garrett, my other best friend, and i join robotics. At first I really wasn't interested, I came from a private school and had never heard of robotics until this year. At our first meeting, I had a accident before actually arriving at the meeting. Mr.Scogna, who is another mentor, was the one who actually took me to the hospital next door and explained to me about robotics. Even though I was in extreme pain because of my ankle, I was very interested. So, I went to the next meeting, fractured ankle and all, and everyone was so nice already, they talked about robotics and i just loved it. Here is a group of people that I have so much in common with that it is amazing. I have to say some of my best friends are in robotics with me.
