Re: CNN Special Featuring FIRST, Sunday 5/15
I really liked the special (although I did feel it could of use more material in it), but overall it was the motivator I needed to show the students of FRC 3320 to keep them marching on.
Maria's story really struck a cord with one of our girls; she has a very similar story cause her dad doesn't believe she'll graduate high school and will end up like her cousins. (She almost quit robotics over it). But now she's more committed to be something great for her family and herself. She told her mom awhile ago her dreams of being a biomedical engineer and I'm excited that their relationship is a lot closer over it now.
