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.

For me its been only One and a half year. Although i joined robotics accidentally.....but i still thank the people who got me into this. I'm just another fish in the pond, who's life has been changed enormously just by being part of FIRST.
In this time period, I've not only learned about Science and Engineering, but also it gave me a chance to discover myself and how can i help my community and the world. As I've mentioned a lot of times, Its not only about building a robot, its about building each and every student and guiding them to the part of the infrastructure, where they can fit the best.
Although I'm heading to college, but I'll still try my best to stay in touch with the FIRST community. FIRST has provided us (college students) with a lot of challenges, fun and memorable moments; and now its our time to take it to the next step.
