Re: Lettering in FIRST

We don't want letters to be "cool", but we do want recognition by our schools. We do put as much time and effort and passion into what we do as any athlete, speech team memeber, mucisian, or any other person does. I am glad that I'm getting a letter for robotics as a senior. I've already got a jacket, for lettering twice already in music, and going to state. I'll also recieve an acedemic competition letter as a senior. That's not the point in competing, and I'm defintely not"cool" for it, but I'm glad I'm getting the recgonition for putting my time, effort, and brainpower into it. It's ok to want to get something extra, after all the work is done and you have extra time on your hands. Just don't be bitter towards sports teams. Think about how insulted you feel when somone says you don't work hard in robotics, or its not important. Every club, sport, team, and association should have the option to create a letter in their school. It just makes sense that way.
