Re: Why did you join FIRST?

I will be completely honest...

In middle school, I was very gullible and I believed the robotics stereotype. I did not join it in middle school, since I did not want to be considered a geek.

When freshman year came along in high school, I wanted to start an extra-curricular activity that would help me with engineering, since that is what I aspired to be (I am still aspired to be an engineer). I decided to join the robotics, wondering what it was like. Now that I have been on the robotics team, I was CLEARLY wrong about what robotics students were like. Robotics was probably the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I still couldn't believe that I thought the robotics stereotype was true. I met some of my best friends through robotics. I definitely have a better chance of getting into college. I am so glad I decided to join FIRST robotics. I am a geek, and I am extremely proud of it.
