Re: If You Could Start Over With Your FIRST Experience...
Over the past few years, there have been several emails that I did not send and should have, several tasks that I probably should have done earlier than I did, and several opinions that I didn't voice. If I were to start over, I would listen to my gut feeling a lot more. I would send those emails, not procrastinate, and voice my opinions a lot more.
I would have also gotten involved earlier in my freshman year. I was really not into the whole robotics deal until the November and December before Kickoff, and I wish I would have jumped on the bandwagon sooner. I still had an incredibly productive, enjoyable, and rewarding season that year, but I always wonder what it would have been like if I had began going to work sessions in the beginning of the pre-season.
Overall, I would have put more of my ideas and opinions on the table and stuck with them. There were several times, especially this year, where I let myself get trampled on by the opinions of others, and I wish I had stuck with my points.
