Graduating Seniors...

How many graduating seniors are their on your team this year? For team 668 all that will be left on our team next year are 4 students. This could be the last year for our team that went from being a nobody team, to a really big threat wherever we went. It was a pretty emotional Championship event because it was my first time there and also my last event on a team I have been on all 4 years of high school. My whole team was pretty bummed when it hit us that we were done and had nothing left. But this is something we are going to take with us for the rest of our lives and be able to pass on to future generations though mentoring and our future careers in engineering. I'd like to thank every team out there that helped make this one of the best years of FIRST and a year I'll remember forever. I'd also like to thank every team that helped 668 in some way throughout the past years. I also want to thank every mentor out there because there is no way teams can get as far as we all did without all of the voluntary help from the mentors. I hope our team continues to improve and receive help from fellow FRC teams. As for me, I'll be returning to mentor and try to keep the team together, because it's worth all the effort. There is nothing in high school that can teach students more about life than being on a FIRST team.

How many teams are in the same boat we are with 90% of their team graduating? If so I'd recommend doing anything possible to keep the team together, so that students can experience the same thing you did...
