My father knew the mentor of our school's robotics team and when I became a sophomore, my dad told me I had to join the robotics team. I didn't argue with my dad and just figured I would show up at a meeting here and there and hopefully lose credit & get kicked out. I dragged my best friend, Heather, to the first meeting.
We both slowly got more and more involved. We were good at getting the little things done that most people think are unimportant to the team and the guys wouldn't do. But they HAD to get done so we did them.
Before you knew it, we made the travel team.. maybe just because they needed to bring two more girls to fill a room. But before I knew it, I was project manager and had brought 6 additional girls to the team because of my passion for Team 223.
At first I thought it was just a stupid, geeky club. But now it's my entire life. I can't imagine life without FIRST robotics.
