This is a wonderful and valuable and long overdue award.

Agreed, FIRST presented this in the ranks of a WFFA and Chairman's so it is upsetting to see the time frame in which we have to work. The 4000 character limit was tough for me to write within today. Luckily, I have finished the essay for one junior who I am especially proud of.
