What do you feel about the growth of FIRST?

I guess at this point in this thread we have to ask ourselves what does FIRST really mean to me. Then we have to question what FIRST means to our schools, our mentors, our teachers, and our communities. Finally we have to ask what does FIRST mean to our sponsors.
FIRST is going to grow, there is nothing we can do about that. At this point, it is entirely up to us to help mold it into what we want it to be. If we start now and work with the people running FIRST, we can get it there.

I will let you think about all of those before I continue my thought.

I want to focus the post a little on the growth of FIRST, such as the success and downfall of a bigger FIRST, what we can do to make FIRST bigger and healthier, and more importantly, what are some of the barrier FIRST will have to go through to expand itself in a healthy way.

There are numerous post about "what FIRST means to you". The truth of the matter is, FIRST means a lot of different things to a lot of people. Some of those meanings won't agree with each other, and they don't have to. As long as FIRST is making a positive difference to its participants, that's good enough.

You can do a simple search for these posts. You can tell how much impact FIRST made to all these people by telling how many posts there are.
