Re: An Inspirational(?) Story

Brian, Congratulations on your team's success!

This is my fourth year of exposure to FIRST, and, each year, something more amazing happens. I don't want to bore you with stories of our team, but let me say that I became a mentor and started a team where I teach because I was inspired by my son. He and his friends started 1350, and I experienced an absolutely astounding introduction to FIRST.

During my initial year as a mentor, whenever I expressed doubts to my son that our new team would even be able to deliver a bot on time, he would basically say ' Don't worry Dad, FIRST is magic!'

Well, I'm old enough to know better, but I am now a firm believer in FIRST magic. Each year we feel good just to survive the season as a team. Each year we witness and experience fantastic events. Each year we've managed for the team to earn some special recognition.

Success always tastes sweetest after a struggle. Enjoy Atlanta and make some great memories for a lifetime!

Dr. P.
