About time I had a chance to read through the whole thing. I have seen Travis around at Regionals, Championship but never talked to him in person. I never knew that I would be in the position to give this story out but... this one time I went by team 48's pit (actually I went over to 45's but 48 was right next to them), their students were having trouble figuring something out. I saw travis sit there with the students. Talk about real mentoring? A mentor is a mentor when he sits there and helps the students to solve the problem. He is one of my inspiration to become a mentor. Thank you Travis. You deserve the honor. This time when I see you around, I will definitely come up to you and talk to you in person.
