Re: How FIRST has affected you?

Got me addicted.

Every end of the season (exactly after the matches), I say to myself: That's it, no more FIRST for me.

The following day I say, who am I kidding? I'm gonna' be next year, just I'm not gonna' be as supportive as I was before

Then at the next FIRST meeting (or when it's when I meet FIRST friends), I say to myself, Heck, next year is gonna' be our best year and we're gonna' win it if we do this and that, and I don't want to miss being a part of it, and then I start volunteering for being charge of off-season stuff.

FIRST also made me quite popular (negative and postive, but I take all the negatives as positives). All the FLL kids at school...well, I guess they..admire me (literaly, these guys just stick to me every day only wanting to talk about their FRC team next year!), I've got lots of friends from other teams in FIRST who know me (some that I don't even know myself ).

FIRST taught me that being geek is ok. Geek is one letter from Greek, which those guys were guinsses those days.............

um...yeah, some were proven wrong with their thoeries, but still...

Anyway, Because of FIRST, I'm not just Nir.

I'm "Nir the CEO".
