The Reasons we Continue to be in FIRST

Another one.

At our celebration party, the head coach of 4096, was giving a speech about how and why he's doing this. His voice started breaking up, but he wanted to say something along the lines of, the real reason he was doing this and his measure of success are how far the students on the team go to inspire others, like the collegiate mentors we have.

That was super touching, meant a lot and I completely agree. My fellow peers that mentor and do college are fricking amazing. It's soo inspiring to see a team that is mentored by people only a few years older than the members on the team.

So another reason, why I continue to be involved, is because of all of those that graduate their teams and high schools but never give up and continue to be involved in FIRST because it's a way of life. They just can't let go. I continue to be in FIRST because I have to.
