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
^^ Exactly what he said, except replace Boston with Hartford and Atlanta.

I seriously have to thank my physics and computer programming teachers for pushing me to get involved with FIRST. I just wish I had joined sooner. Even though I'll be going to college next year, I'm still going to try my best to stay involved and stick around. Who knows what will happen next...
