How Has FIRST Impacted Your Life?

[Pamelot2067]

For US History I have to write a research paper proving something that greatly impacts our lives as students and our futur. I thought what better to prove makes a futur for us then robotics.

I need first hand experices from students like myself telling me how you got into FIRST, how it effects your use of math and science, if your planning on going to a tech college, if you've gotten a scholarship from FIRST, and anything else you can think of. Things like how it shows you a fun way to learn and gets you thinking outside the class room or even just how fun and rewarding it is.

Anyone thats got a minute and can type up any info for me that would be great. Also include your age and where your from.

Thanks ^-^
