The Ideals of FIRST have Changed...

[KenWittlief]

Chris,

You were on a FIRST team
next year you are going to college.

Mission Accomplished!

That was the idea behind FIRST.

Look past the robot. Look past your team. Science and technolgy are studies worth devoting your life too.

Best advice I can give to you is to let FIRST go for a few years now, dont look back. Whatever it is you are taking in college, plunge into that headfirst

put everything you have into it, like you did on the days before the bot shipped, or in the pits during an event

Know that with hard work and a spark in your eye you can change the world, maybe not for everyone, but for some people - you can make a difference.

There are things to do in college that are WAY more awesome than FIRST - you will see for yourself.

You are pointed in the right direction, now run with it!
