I seem to be the only person on my team who has any sort of inclination towards gracious professionalism or the spirit of FIRST. I am the reporter, and so I recently made a presentation for our sponsors, which included information about our team and FIRST. Most of the team wanted to remove entirely the slide about gracious professionalism, and amend the slide introducing FIRST to say less about changing the culture towards more science and technology. It isn't as if I'm shouting about the "gospel of engineering" from the rooftops or anything. In fact, compared to many on CD, I'm quite moderate in my obsession.

It was pointed out today, while we as a team were working on this presentation, that I should discuss FIRST and GP, because I was "like, the only team member that even gets on Chief Delphi and believes in that stuff."

It isn't just the freshmen that want to put chainsaws on the robots, it is the entire team, including the president, and a lot of seniors who have been in the program for years. I don't expect every member to be as passionate about FIRST as I am, but how can I as a team member inspire my team to care about things like being graciously professional and the goals of FIRST as a whole. Is there any more I can say about why winning doesn't matter as much, because we as students are winners by even being in FIRST?
