Why did you join FIRST?

[DarkFlame145]

I first fount out about FIRST when I was my my boyscout meetings (I made it all the way to Eagle), I noticed that all of my older friends (freshman at the time) where coming into the meetings late. After a few weeks I asked why they where always late, they told me about first and for 3 long years all I wanted to do was FIRST. Finally my Freshman year of High School came around and I got on the team asap. I went from a Rookie Welder for Team 145 to one of the more influential members of the team by the time I was done with my Student career. When I moved to Orlando, I didn't want my FIRST career to be over so I started asking around about teams in the area and became a College mentor for 1902.

I know I gave my whole FIRST history, but it was because of my older friends talking about FIRST and getting me hooked that started the madness I love.
