Freshman: Told my friend she was a nerd and refused to join because I didnt want people to think I was a nerd to (still in that middle-school mindset)
Sophmore: Finally joined. Worked in anything management that needed editing and proofreading (honors english). I "Secretly" aspired to getting on the build team. Only attended nationals and was anti-scouting, but did what I had to.
Junior: Under our new rotating build schedule, I worked on both management and build. I did both well, though focused most of my energy on build. Later in the build season I was officially placed on the pit-crew and attended all competitions, tweaking and fixing anything I could, which wasn't much because our robot worked fairly well. (I also decided I wanted to be an engineer this year)
Senior: Was given a permanent position on the build team and pit crew (finally shaking those management shackles
). I'm co-human player with another member of the build team, and am anxiously awaiting our next three competitions (mildly presumptious I know, but we're a very overconfident bunch)
College: Might* take a break from FIRST
Beyond: Will return as a mentor to my team, as long as I'm in the area. If not, I'll find a team nearby to mentor, whether they need more mentors or not.
