"I've always been one of those people that isn't really bad at anything, but on the other hand, I never had a forte for one subject. When I found FIRST in high school, I was hooked. FIRST spans so many different elements, that it is impossible not to find something you like or do well. On my college team, I like to be involved in everything. While I may not end up majoring in engineering, I'm glad that my college sponsors a FIRST team. It showed me that my college was interested and dedicated to technology and the future. I know that when I graduate I will work for a large corporation; I just haven't decided what I will be doing. FIRST instills and demonstrates task management, responsibility, communication skills, and dedication, just to name a few. No matter what career path I choose to take,I am confidant that in the future these skills will become valuable assests. If a college wants to challenge and make their students better, a FIRST team is crucial. Even though I'm no longer on the same team and I'm miles away from home, I still have one constant in my life, FIRST. Sometimes, as in my case, FIRST not only affects high school students, it guides college students. Every college must invest in FIRST."
