Thee Alchemyst is on a distinguished road
Rookie Team & Chairman's

I was talking to my Coach, and he said this: "The Chairman's Award is going to two people: NASA, and to the Judges. It serves three purposes: NASA to show to the taxpayers that they're using their money wisely, to FIRST to show that we're expansionists, and lastly to show that we are moving forward and going to do our best to be around for years to come."

I realize what I am doing for my Chairman's Award essay (another student had typed out the Executive Summary) but I have one question: Keeping my coach's quote in mind, would it be better for the essay part of the CA to be in objective or a personal perspective? (I.e., say "the team" or "Team Alchemy" instead of "we" or "our".) More or less asking if this essay should be kept personal as it was coming from a student, or more professional and business-like, effectively giving the reader what the essay is about.
