Re: Gracious Professionalism Scrapbook

Hey, I have one:

Last year, at the Milwaukee regional, my team (1652) asked me to go get a handout from the officials desk, which, as I found out, didn't have enough copies for all of the teams who wanted them. So they asked me to go find a team with a copier/printer and make some copies, which I graciously accepted. Several people standing around me were able to point me towards the two pits with copiers, where the pit crew for that team allowed me to make copies and help me distribute them to the pits who had not received one. The thing that struck me was how almost everyone seemed willing to help in every way they could, unconditionally. Even though it was just a simple task, that made it much easier than having to search through the entire pit area (we had about 62 teams at that regional that year) to find the two copiers. So thanks, whichever team let us use their copiers. You are gracious professionals.
