Why are YOU involved in FIRST?

[Melancholy]

i have quite an interesting story for how i got involved in FIRST. i had wanted to be a teacher for quite a while, so i was signed up to take a course in 11th grade called child care. i later found out that it was an all girls class and it involved a lot of girly things, which i'm just not into. i went to my guidance counselor to see what else i could take. my choices were cooking, sewing, and audio electronics. well, i found out that even though i was the only girl in the class, i was really good at electonics, and my teacher eventually asked me to join the robotics team, which i didn't even know existed. my schedule for this year includes hi-tech electronics, principles of engineering, and ap computer science. i fell in love with robots. now, i'm gonna be an engineer when i grow up. well, i'll never grow up, but you know what i mean...
