: I believe this is the right time to question ourselves why we are in the competition in the first place.

Fair enough.
Wellll.....geez, I love telling this story ::grin::

Ok, rewind back to the end of my freshman year, sitting in Mr. Bob Svab's (pronounced like 'cotton swab') oh-so-boring History class, when the woods/technology teacher came in one day and pulled out a phamphlet about this little organization in NH that built robots that fought eachother (or at least thats what I got from the talk)....he asked the interested people to sign the list, and I did...along with 95% of the class.

I remember talking it over with my parents...and they really pushed me to go to that first meeting. And I quote: 'I dont really know what it is, but it sure sounds good.'

The first meeting.....maybe 5% of that 95% on that list showed, and I still remember some of the people that were on the team in the beginning that didn't stay...people that you would never associate robots with....and that first meeting sounded more like Battlebot than a FIRST-bot, but we didn't know any better.

So.....now, in our 3rd year, I look back and think, geez, I could have never done this and ended up with a resume weighted down by theatre and not much else, or I could have this....where I know so many people who are so multi-faceted like me, have such a good resume ::grin::, gone to places I would have never imagined me going (FL & NH, my 2 fav places)...and...

I would have never made such a connection in my head with all my different interests...my techie side and my hunger for news side and my performing side....it would have never happened without FIRST. And I will keep coming back to it, for I am forever indebted to it.

::sniffle:: Ok, Im done
