Mom, I am hungry... is the food ready yet?

I can go on and on about the whole team. I love team 1902. They are not just a team, they are a family. Also, they don't hesitate to adopt others as their team members. Whenever I hang out with them, I feel like I am with my own team.

The kids on the team are like brothers and sisters. They are smart, dedicated and most of all what matters is that they care about the team. Katie is still my favorite, sorry Caroline. Hopefully I won't forget about your suger cookies next time. =)

Dan, George, Andrew, Mike, Matt... I have known those guys for a good time and they are some cool people and I am privilages to be able to associate with them. They always gave the mayhem committee a hand and made sure that the competition went smooth, infact, Dan, Andrew and Mike are part of the committee and George is the greatest announcer I could find in Florida.

And there are ofcourse the "adults" of the team like Wendy, Mr. Coleman, Mr. Austin, Ryan, Mrs. Coleman and all the other parents. Just a little story... Friday night dinner was served at Wendy's house. Mrs. Coleman cooked and brought it over for the whole team (OMG Mrs. Coleman, I love your cooking) and they invited us over for dinner. Not to mention Wendy was asking me every half an hour if I needed a drink or more food. Saturday night few of my friends and I went to Outback with them for Dinner. We had a great time. I stayed up all Saturday night hanging out with friends and so forth (Dan let me crash at his house). At 8 in the morning I get a call from Wendy asking me to wake Imad up to take him to the airport. I get another call from Wendy at 8:40 and I still remember, she said, "Arefin, are you up yet? Breakfast is ready. Are you hungry?" The more I think about the team, the more respect I gain for them. I wish I had the chance to be on the team.

I would like to write more about the team, but there aren't enough words to express how I feel about them. Team 1902, thank you for everything... you guys make me feel like I am home whenever I am up in Orlando.
