What is your favorite part of FIRST and why? :)

[JaneYoung]

I have many favorites and I have shared them in various threads here in CD through the years.

If I absolutely had to choose one favorite - absolutely positively indubitably - one - it would be watching the students develop and mature into incredible role models through their years of participation on the team. The young Freshmen who stay with the team and find their niche are as impressive as the Seniors who begin the process of making college decisions and hard choices. Their journeys are often messy, filled with teenager ups and downs, and challenging for them and for the team, in general. But.. the rewards that culminate through the process of helping to mentor them on their journeys are very very special and filled with inspiration.

Thank you for creating this thread,
