What have you given up for FIRST?

[Trinora]

Much money, sleep, countless hours of time, the month of October, a few points in every class, relaxation, laziness, a lot of my fears and inhibitions.. As some at regionals have found out (sorry), sleep, Any chance of getting off my caffine addiction ('sweet nectar thy name is Dew'), two birthday parties, conversation with friends and family ("Oh.. you do.. robots.. How.. interesting?"), weekends, dreamless sleep, sleep in general, computer addiction, liscence tests, homework.. mwhuahaha, doctor's appointments, my Wacom tablet (sigh), and several less than friendly friends.

However, I've gained friends in abundance, and FIRST has given me a sense of worth and pride nothing else has compared to.
