before build season: i thought that the season was going to be standard fare, sort of like math team. this was deception by our former mentor.

during build season: my general thoughts were changed by the build season. at first our team had problems but in the fifth week we fired our mentor, a teacher with too much ego and not enough respect, and sought help from professionals. after that things went smoothly

at reigonal: I was thoroughly unprepared for what awaited me in boston. I would of thought it unimaginable that so many people would come to see robots compete. before the most exciting event was a math team meet where about 30 people came to cheer on the 300 students.

overall: this year has changed my life profoundly. i gained friends( in total i have never broken double digits before first), i earned trust and began to gain a respect and admiration for other students. to all of the people who on robotics, I thank you for giving me the chance and happiness that i had never had before. robotics has been the happiest thing i have ever done in my life

thank you all

And it's all but getn' Started!! Rookie-no-more, welcome to the realm of those who know what we are talking about when we say FIRST rocks!!
