I don't remember if I posted here or not... if I did, just let me know haha.

But I joined FIRST because , well, when my brother was in 9th grade (and i was in 7th) he joined. So of course, I was forced to go with my mom to drop him off at the work site. Well, this one time we went, had to have been one of the first because there was nothing built yet haha, I went into the work site and was basically all So the students had to sign in on a sheet of paper (for attendence records and all). No one was looking - so i did it too lol. The elder kids (and adults) saw it and laughed. Then 2 years later, at the team dinner, with our new advsior, I solved a puzzle cube in about 10 seconds and they guys couldn't do it. So with me seeing a work site, going to offseasons, and doing what the guys could/couldn't do, I knew I wanted to do this - and boy am I ever glad I joined FIRST. I got to use my imagination soooo much and loved it. From the first day til now, I still see myself as that lil 7th grade girl - using her imagination to the fullest. Now, I get to use my imagination and it's a much bigger part of the team.
With the years on my team, I've learned so much. Now that I'm in college, I can put that stuff to use; and yes, I am still mentoring the same team that I "joined" 8 years ago =]
