Seniors

[plnyyanks]

I'm graduating this year, and it's looking to be really difficult. It's going to be hard to leave my team after all the personal blood, sweat, and tears that have gone into everything from ensuring that there will be a team the next season, to getting a new group of students excited about FIRST. I've been on the team for four years, and most recently President, and it gets to be a big part of you.

But I'm not worried - I don't plan on leaving for good; I'll be back to mentor when I can, and I plan on volunteering as much as I can. And I'm not worried about the team, either, I'm confident they'll do just fine without the current senior class. Even though our performance on the field this year wasn't up to our usual standard, I asked the group afterwords who was inspired by what they'd seen at the CT Regional. Everybody put their hand up. So I know they'll alright.

It's sad and humbling leaving and I'll sure miss being a student on a team, but I'm honestly pretty excited for what lies ahead. So yeah, bittersweet.
