Thats our alliance!" Everyone looked at me funny, but maybe thats from having two medals clinking on my neck and a pink shirt on.....but seriously...it doesnt stop, like others said, you have outreach to recruit more students, mentors and sponsors....demos to show off your robot...off-season events to compete in...fundraising for the next season....and not to mention, reverse engineering and seeing what you can do better next year!

It's instance like these, and people like these, that make me smile. It helps me cope with the fact that I am a graduating senior and it makes me happy to know that there are other people out there that are EXACTLY like me. I know that FIRST will never end for me. I will do it forever. Hehehehe. But, seriously, that whole thing with seeing team numbers everywhere and feeling like they haunt you is a real thing. I often times compare myself to Drew Carrey in The Number 23, except instead of one number, I am haunted by the plethora of numbers that are FIRST.
