To all of our High School Graduates

[Beth Sweet]

First off, congratulations on your graduation! You are now ready to either go on to college (or university for the Canadians) or out into the work world. It's a fun change in life, if nothing else, you probably can wake up a little later in the mornings!

With that, I would like to take the opportunity to invite you to participate on local teams. If you are going onto college, there will likely be a team there. While it is important to place team participation in proportion to all other necessary tasks, it's quite fun, especially for FIRSTers who never get tired of it!

I'm not sure when this was last updated, but for those looking for the team nearest you, CollegiateFIRST is a pretty good resource to find out if a team exists. I know on 1504, we are looking for a couple of new engineering mentors (not necessarily majors) for the 2008 season.

So please take this as an invitation to join your local team. Keep in mind DJ's thread on why time management is essential, but feel free to continue your participation in FIRST!

PS. If anyone is interested in joining Team 1504-The Desperate Penguins, please send me a PM, email, etc. The information for our team on CollegiateFIRST is wrong, but it let's ya know that we exist at State.
PPS. I threw this into General because I'm not sure if a lot of our grads are checking College Teams yet. Feel free to move if you like mods!
