Dealing with disapointments

[BPetry234]

It's corny and on kindergarden wall in every state in America but here is the way I see it...

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you'll end up among the stars."

I feel very honored to have been on Cyber Blue 234 the past two years. Last year we had a great comunity outreach program but didn't preform as well as we wanted to as far as the robot goes. We still had a season other teams would kill for, though, and I am happy to have been a part of that.

This year we wanted more. We pushed harder then we ever had. We set the goal of winning the whole thing in Atlanta and worked our butts off. Not saying that it wasn't always a goal, but that was our drive, our push.

We won DC and took second at BMR with the help of our partners. (Thank you 45. You guys a first rate team and I wish you the best of luck next year and on.) It was a great season just right there but we still had Atlanta in our sights. It didn't turn out like we wanted it to, but it is possible to succede in failure.

I will make my decision on how this year went when next years' season is over. I know that I did my job as a senior if Cyber Blue continues to push for exellence. That is all you can do, pass on your knowladge to the younger students around you. For them, there is another season, another game.

Set your goals as high as your team thinks they can achieve (drafted, drafting, win awards, regional champs, world champs, etc) and go for them. Let the chips fall and have no regrets.
