Re: things you got to do because of first
I've been able to meet the celebrities of FIRST; Dean, Woodie, Dave, the list goes on and on. I've met people all over this country through this forum, and in person. I've been able to overcome great shyness and actually speak in front of a roomful of people (although I am still not comfortable with it). I've become the director of an organization of wonderful mentors. I've had the opportunity to escort VIPs around events and explain the magic of FIRST.
(And I echo the suggestion about talking with the judges if you can. And don't forget that if someone is bringing a VIP through the pits and you have an opportunity to say a few things about how FIRST has impacted you, DO IT! The anecdotes in this thread are some of the things that will impress VIPs more than anything an Ambassador could relate.)
