Re: Girls,Why did you join FIRST???
I joined FIRST because about half of my friends were in it and they told me to. From the very first (lol FIRST) meeting I loved the people on the team and the whole concept of gracious professionalism and what FIRST was all about. Then, I went to my first competition (Ramp Riot) and I haven't looked back since. I went from having never seen a competition to leading our cheering section. It was the greatest experience of my life. And everything since then has just made me love FIRST even more. I think it's especially great for girls to get into robotics, because it brings their minds off of the clothes and the boys and on to more worthwhile things, and it enforces the idea that girls can be intelligent too.
