The "FIRST" experience?

[Kmo]

That's very interesting thought you have there.

In my opinion I believe FIRST was always made to motivate the young people to want to learn. Depending on where you came from or the community around you, I think that will determine whether the student would be motivated to do more with their life or just go down a road that leads to an dead end.

For example: Let's say that you took a kid from the ghetto and introduce them into FIRST by experiencing team work, the chance to travel out of state or country, to be able to meet people they never met before, and let not forget being able to do things that seem impossible they learn so much more.


I see FIRST more of a motivation to want to do more, to become more then who you are. In a way FIRST does teach us something. It teaches us that we are not limited by anything, if we can put our mind and our heart into it than it is possible to do anything.

Yea my experience was completely different from everyone's but my motivation, my thrive is the same as any other. I wish to be a programmer, before hand I wanted to be a Fashion Designer. In a way I still do only after I get my major in Computer science.

I think Once a person learns to love and appreciate science and technology their minds will be able to open up and understand more.
