FEMALES!

['lil Gach]

Well this year for me I was on the electrical team and there was the freshman also on the electrical team. So when I started working on the robot I was told go do something else because electrical is something for a girl to do.. Well I didnt let that stop me from doing electrical.. Yes it did make me very made because a girl can do anything a guy can.. I am now a Junior on the team and trying to get more girls to join the engineering subteams we have because I know it changed my view on how I look at engineering. Also because it was fun! Not only did I learn from being on electrical, but I also met new people.

There were also the times where on playing field my freshman year I was pushed aside from helping with the project only because I was girl. Once again I said no this is what I am doing.. So when the team needed someone small to go under the ramp to put it together or take it apart it was always me, because I was the smallest and I wanted to do it.

Those are the only 2 things I ran into with being a girl, I will never let it stop me. I mean I am still treated as an equal to all our engineers and my good friends. I am also respected because I work and I will always show my respect no matter who it is as long as I am respect by them.
