I have just finished my second year away from home with a different team. And I know how Kate is feeling. For me, it took time to adjust to my new team, seeing my old team compete without me was very awkward. Seeing them win a regional without me almost hurt. However, these last two years with team 42 have been two of the best years of the six I have been in the program. I have learned alot from my experiences with PARTS. Though the transition is not easy, if you stick it out, you may have something special. Not only did I learn alot about engineering in general, but I also have become friends with some of the greatest bunch of kids I have ever known. And the best feeling in the world came when I found out that my efforts were making an impact on someone elses life. The fact that just 2 years ago I was a high school student in the program being inspired by some of the best people I have ever known, and now here I am, doing the inspiring for the students on my team, is amazing. To Kate and every other college student or college student to be, if you work hard and really try to get these kids involved, you will find out as I did that the most worthwhile thing in this program is yet to come.
Good Luck,
Andy Grady, DWC/Alvirne HS
