Re: FIRST Alumni Achievement

How's this?
Sohpmore student in 1996 is asked to document team activity via video (was a member of the TV club at the time) and starts to work with team. Comes back as Junior and starts to work on robot under Raul, starts thinking about engineering. As a senior, spends untold hours at Motorola and brings in other students to the team, including sister. Goes off to Bradley University to study Mechanical Engineering, and assists Caterpillar and Bradley to jump into FIRST with both feet starting two teams in central Illinois this coming school year. The student graduates as a mechanical engineer and is now working at Underwriter's Lab.
(How cool a job is this to get paid to check stuff out for other people and occasionally blow stuff up.)

Student's name is Mark Skierkiewicz.
