Inspiring/Motivating A Team

We're a veteran team (started in '97), but we're currently a VERY young team. We have Zero fourth-year members on the team. We have a grand total of about 3 third-year members (including myself.) 95% of our team has never been to nationals. 50% of our team has never been to a regional competition (the frosh.)

I need help (a) motivating them to work harder and (b) explaining to them what FIRST is really all about. I've been searching the forums for any kind of inspiring stories out there. I know they're out there, but I can't find them. I would really like to find an essay/story someone has written that I can just read to the team, or have them read silently. Does anyone have suggestions/ideas?

I've been trying hard to help them understand FIRST, but I really need the CD communities' help in pointing me to some resources.

Thanks so much in advance!
