Robotics has done many things.

In the beginning it was my way of passing time, but it became something I loved. It taught me that anything is possible if you have the resources, and if you don't it is still teaching me how to obtain those resources and even work without them.

It has given me a chance to network, meet new people across borders (domestic and international), and pass time with people who think the way I do, without having to explain odd jokes or interesting technological news and updates in great detail.

It has made me efficient. I have become more involved in the things i pursue, and it has helped me stay sane in the world of 20 hour differential equations homework assignments not to exclude dealing with the politics of a University, School and other organizations.

It has given me the resources to find answers. It has given me the resources to answer questions and do more research to find better answers.

It has made me more aware of when I speak, whom I speak to, how I speak, without leaving out what I really want to say.... [but many will disagree]

It was one of many things that turned into another thing that turned into another which has made me a very successful leader of my school, my fraternity and in my community.

But most importantly, Robotics has given me the opportunity to argue with world class engineers, to even prove wrong some world class engineers, to work with world class engineers, but most importantly it has given me the opportunity to call many of these world class engineers my friends.


There is more to write but unfortunately differential equations must take priority to the internet.
