Re: "I'm not that smart"

First off. Just reading this thread is inspiring. I came into robotics off of a recommendation. I honestly have a hard time with some math things in school and find myself saying "I'm not that smart".

Smart honestly is a relative term. When some people think smart. They think "math". But FIRST has shown me that its so many more things.
It's given me the self-confidence because even though i'm not "smart at" math, i understand how things work and i can help out my team and other people.

Comes to show its not if you are "smart" but what you are "smart at"
