I'm almost through the first year of college and miss FIRST a *lot*, but have learned
to deal with it and live continue the FIRST experience through my brother, who joined
the Huskie Brigade last year and (hopefully) will be on it for the next 2 until he
graduates. I went to the Great Lakes Regional this year and had a blast. I wish this
year's game was last years! Looks like a lot of fun.

I would have liked to travel with the team this year, but this college student's budget of
money and time made that impossible. I'm hoping that within the next few years I can
participate with them again, but unfortunately it will not be the same. For those of you
who can wait, I recommend saving your time, money, and energy and waiting until you
get out of college. That way you can work for a company that sponsors a team... or when
you have kids you can do work for their teams! It may hurt, but I'm looking past my high
school years and my FIRST endeavors and storing them in my memory as some of the
best experiences of my life.
