Non-Engineering Majors Who Loved FIRST

[Wetzel]

This thread is me, as well.

I have always loved tinkering with things, my dad has always fixed things rather then replace them, and had me help him. So building the robot was a really cool thing for me. But I started up into higher math, it started to really kick my butt. I was looking for something else, and found emergancy medicne. I am currently an EMT and probally going to VCU to continue in medicine, probaly to be a ER nurse, but perhaps a PA or even a doctor (but 7 more years of school isnt that appealing to me).

I love FIRST, and the challange of figureing out the game and making the things work, but getting down into the 'real' enginnering of actual dimensions and measureing stresses, I start to get lost. I can picture the actions of the forces in my head and get a good idea, but can't follow when trying to calculate them.

So I found something else that is a challange, changes often, and I enjoy. FIRST still had a large impact on me, more then most people will ever realise from where I am now. I'm starting to ramble as it is late and I am tired so I will finnish this and goto bed.

I am a non-engineering major who still loves FIRST.
