You're right, it's not the one I'm thinking of. The one I'm thinking of was DURING the Kickoff, later transcribed here.

Kelly, could you answer my question from my first post in this thread? It might make it easier to communicate. We'll at least have a better idea of where we each stand.

Sunshine, read the rest of the post. She also says (right after the part you quote, BTW) "A FIRST team can still teach you valuable technical and leadership skills, but its mission of inspiration is complete. You are not its target." I think you missed her point.

Also, I remember someone saying (this is in the spotlights) "Your second year on the team is your first year as a mentor." Tell your sponsor that. Live it. It's true. Students are mentors. Now that's something you don't see too often outside of FIRST.
