Re: The Reasons we Continue to be in FIRST

Because FIRST is what brought me to where I am today.

Because I can teach a student something one day and the next have her be better at it than I am.

Because I have students giving me instruction on what to do to help in other systems of the robot.

Because I have a student begging me everyday to install Inventor on the team laptop so he can use it.

Because when one of my team's schools was closed for a week for a snowstorm, the other opened theirs up as they had for two years before I started when the team didn't even have a place to meet in their own school.

Because I walked into a team meeting on Kickoff for the first time and instantly felt at home in a room full of strangers.

Because I can read through this thread and relate to almost every one of these responses and hope for the rest.

Because I want to inspire these kids the way I was inspired 9 years ago.
