I forgot something...

This goes back to my comments on engineers as inspiration. My engineers, as I'm sure others are, are not there just to inspire the students to go pursue an engineering occupation. (Look at me..I'll probaly major in History or communications.) Engineers inspire us to be better or greater than we think we can be. For instance, because of the engineers I have worked with, I was inspired to mentor two LEGO league teams this year. I found out why engineers enjoy of FIRST. It's fun being a role model. And that's what engineers are. There are not many, if any, other programs where students can work hand in hand with professionals. I feel a mixture of respect and friendship toward my engineers. Heaven knows I won't be an enginner(nothing against the profession), but I do know that through FIRST I have learned better communication skills and been exposed to more public speaking oppurtunities. Those skills can be applied to any job. ~Becky
