Re: Teams I'm Inspired By

I know that when I go to regionals or worlds, I sometimes see teams and I think "Man, I wish I was like that team. I wish I had that many gold medals and regional wins under my belt."

But then I realize that it's all...I don't want to say fake... but to me, it's just a dream or a prize...nothing really WANTS me to the get there...but then there are people in my very own team that inspire me.

When I was a freshman, I was inspired by two people, our president at that time, and our mentor. Probably the two coolest, nicest, and hardest working people I have ever met. I saw them lead a group of teenagers, and I saw them lead us into regionals, and I saw them tackle problems head on and each day I sought to better my way of thinking and my thought process.

Today, I'm a senior on the team and I really can't look "up" to get inspired, although my mentor never seizes to amaze me. Then I saw young and determined students come in robotics, and they simply amaze me. I see a student who is in his first year with FRC, and he designs our FRC robot. I see a student who is in his first year with robotics as a whole, and in a short period of time, he has learned LabView and he is helping with our anti-slip code.

While some teams are simply great. I mean 1771 and 1746 have touched me personally with their support and graciousness, and I do look up to each on of those teams.

But I find TRUE inspiration in the people around me. Watching so called "ordinary" people, do extra-ordinary things every day.
