Quotes Needed...please help. :)

Hello FIRST community!
I am writing a research paper for my college english class about the declining interest of students in science and technology, and what Dean Kamen is doing to help solve this problem. i.e. I'm writing about FIRST!

I was hoping that I could quote some of the people in these forums, as you all have FIRSThand ( ) experience with this program.

If you could comment on one of the following, I would be forever grateful!
1. Excitement of build season/what build season means to you.
2. How FIRST has changed your life
3. Mentors: why do you stick with FIRST, what do you hope your students take away from you, why is FIRST important, etc.

Anything else you wish to say will help too!
Please put your full name and team number with your post, though, as I will have to cite who has said it!

Thank you all sooo much for your help, and I can't wait to see you all at next year's competition!
=)
