After reading over this thread, I have a few things to say:
The people on our team, be they FRESHMEN or seniors, are all treated equally. Some of the things I read, like FORCING them to go get drinks, making them carry things, and "not allow them to talk" make you sound like animals! Everyone on our team is made to feel welcomed and is allowed to do anything they please to help contribute to our teams success. We are, as many of my team members have said, a family. Being in FIRST, and Cybersonics, has been the best experience EVER for all of us, completely undependent on grade/age, experience, or sex.
And you know what... I myself am a...*gasp*... FRESHMAN who has taken over updating the website(
www.cybersonics.org if you want to check it out), writes newsletter articles every month by choice, takes pictures for our team, filmed for chairmans award, and did so many other things (BY CHOICE) to help make our team the best it can possibly be... and look where it has taken us! I hope all of you who treat your freshmen like dirt are ashamed because you know what, it's welcoming them into your team that helps make your team the best it can be!!! Thanks 103!
If they need a place where they can get a chance to learn interpersonal skills (like a team), it might just help them to become well-adjusted adults, as opposed to pathologically antisocial engineers (who got good grades). - Tristan Lall [more]
