It is a huge honor for the students to think of one mentor each year as a WFFA. It's amazing to read the entry to the team before the season ends, at the competition, or even after that individual has won the award. All of my years on 1126, 229, 1930, and 2228 have shown me a different aspect of how mentors can shape and build a team. When I was back in high school (oh so many years ago too Jane!) on team 1126, we as students near the middle of the season would have student only meetings. We would discuss how each of the mentors have touched our lives and which one we would nominate. It was always a hard battle to choose the right mentor. They all have given so much to the team. I would always be happy and have a smile when I was near the mentor that we would nominate and hope that they would win. If I recall correctly, we did not have a WFFA come from 1126 in my three years of being on the team. I have heard the essay for the mentor they choose this year and I hope that will change. It's an honor, so please show your respects for the people who make it all possible for you students.
