F stand for Fame in FIRST?

[Melissa Nute]

Maybe I"m just weird...but I know I would be kinda creeped out if I was one of the "famous" FIRST people. Why? Because no one is any different than anyone else in my eyes. Granted, some people stand out more, but that is because the other people might not have gotten a chance yet to shine. I mean, I rather just have a few close friendships with people from other team than have people just talk to me about stuff they know I've done. When you become "famous", some people view you as different and better; honestly, they should be treated as you would treat anyone else.

i think it is possible to be famous and still have many close friendships. what you need to do is stress the fact that, while you may be famous, you don't consider yourself better than anybody else.

i do agree, though, that many people have the potential to be famous, but just havent landed in the right set of circumstances yet.
