How has FIRST changed you?

[roboticsgoof95]

Ive never really been able to describe FIRST. I was the girl that sat by myself in the back.. When I joined a FRC team though, it completely opened me up. You can ask anyone that really knows me. Many times I have thought about how FIRST has changed me but the most important thing, to me, is the people that I have met. Some of my best friends are from other teams either on the other side of the state or in another country (Canada<3). I met Dean Kamen, and got very interested in how he inspired me. After that, I realized he was my role model. I wanted to help others that are younger than me. I started working with a local Lego League, and I met the greatest kids. FIRST has opened up infinite options for my future not only because of my knowledge that I recieved, but also because of the people that came into my life and acctually want the best future for me....
Now I wannna write a paper. Lol.
