Re: Application To Join A Team

I did not want to do this anonymously, however I did not want my views reflected as my teams views. They have no idea I posted this, nor will they ever know it was me.

My experience at FIRST has shown me the power it has on kids. If you get them involved in something they like, they will never let it go. I can see that has been forgotten. It is rather disappointing not to see more people like the leadership I had growing up in this organization. Leaders who were willing to find ways to make deals and work with the kids. We have plans for if the entire school were to join, and it would keep them all engaged.

To Chief Delphi, I bid you a fair well. I hope that one day, we will find a way to give every kid who wants to be a FIRST member to be a FIRST member and an application will only be used to show progress. Until then, I will be working with my team to continue recruiting and growing our team. No matter how large it gets, we will ALWAYS have room for them in our family.
I ran this through google translate... it came out as:

"Since some of you dare to see shades of grey in what is clearly a matter of right and wrong, you are obviously unworthy of further attention. I will go be awesome now. Adieu, petty-minded deniers of opportunity!"

Ah, how I miss being young and knowing everything.

Jason
