I'm feeling kind of bad, today.
We spent a lot of time improving our robot after the Cass Tech competition, and managed to make it work much better,
but we didn't do any better at the Detroit competition.
We did get the imagery award, which we're all so proud of, but FIRST has really been the only thing saving me from the horribleness of my school, and it looks like we won't be making it to Ypsilanti or Atlanta. =(
I hope that everyone that does make it has fun, and I'll certainly stay involved, but it's sad to realize that this is my last year as a student, and it's over, unless we get really lucky and get to go.
Even if we do somehow make it, though, I don't think we'll have the money to get there. >_>
My school actually does not offer any AP or honors courses, so FIRST is the only challenge I've been given - I love it so much, and I'm sad to know that my time as a student is over, now.
There's a lot of bullying, and people have even physically bullied me, only to be given a "warning", or for there to be no 'proof', and thus 'no offense'. It's frustrating, and I guess it doesn't help me to not feel depressed, haha.
If anyone needs an ear, I'm here.
Thank you for starting this post, and I'm sorry to have vented so much.
