In the heat of the battle I didn't realize they had done it and was only told after competition was over. I never got the chance to thank them. Knowing my students had such a spontaneous behavior with an opponent's success, even if it meant we would lose the regional, made my day - you guys are gracious professionals definition. It was by far my best moment in all eight years on FIRST. If asked, I would trade a National Chairman's Award win for having that moment again - without even blinking.
A sincere thanks to all.

I'm sincerely in tears.
I should write a testimonial about how the last weeks spent along with Manoel and the whole team were simply some of the best of my entire life, but i don't feel emotionally ready now.
