Leaving for college...

[aallen88]

As the summer is coming to an end most college students are getting ready to leave in this next week while high school students are getting ready for another year.

Four years of robotics has come and gone in a blink of an eye.

In my four years I have...won two regionals. several awards. one chairmans. ran into woodie flowers at the marta in ATL. rode a segway. met incredible people. made amazing friends. hugged cinniqua. got a kiss on the cheek from dean kamen. and so much more.

This is all because I joined a life-changing, life-fulfilling program. Where everyone who is a part of it, contributes in some way. (To think I almost didn't because I thought it was a "guy" thing...)

What have you attained from robotics? Tell me...and everyone else on this forum. That way when someone reads it they will not only be impressed, but honored that they had some sort of influence on all of your accomplishments.

Whether I've met you or I haven't...I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for your gracious professionalism, mentorship, dedication, integrity, knowledge, and personality that you have put towards FIRST. Continue to spread your passion to generations older and younger than you.

So FIRST Robotics and it's community...thank you. good luck. and most important...I LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER.
