I read this post earlier today and I've given it some thought. What I've thought about are the experiences that I've had working with and being around students and young people in the FIRST programs. The majority of these folks have been helpful and kind and have found humor in the fact that I often have to ask for clarification and a broader understanding of the lingo, the attitudes, and the general coolness of this generation. In ChiefDelphi, teenagers, college students, and young adults have been open, generous, and thoughtful when trying to educate me and bring me up-to-date with terminology, bridging differences in experiences. I've felt very lucky. Hopefully, students in schools and other programs are as generous, helpful, and fun as the majority of those that are in the community of FIRST.
