I was browsing through CD when i started thinking about a single word to describe FIRST, and its very hard to summarise FIRST into just one word. So here is the fun part, every one gets to post a word that describes FIRST best through his/her perspective. (eg. innovation, competition, co-operation, helping, robotics, fun e.t.c)
for me
Future 
life
Many others will agree with me on this one…
FIRST = Life.
Edit - Oops, Jaine got here before i did. well i 2nd her post and many others will too… 
FIRST = Awesome 
Inspiration
Fun
amazing
FIRST = Everything
(Which totally goes with the LIFE thing )
commitment
Supercalafragalistic!
expealadocious!
cool
If you allow the use of emoticons, O_O.
Or if you’re looking for a word:
SECONDs
or THIRDs
or FOURTHs
Please sir may I have some more?
(Sorry, 'tis the season)
Challenging
teamwork
My first pick would be:
Inspiration
It is a ruling philosophy in our team- “its never too late to be inspired”
It also encompasses our belief that no student will be ignored if they have a passion for learning and some dedication
Plus, it reminds me of our late-night design sessions- somehow I’ve theorized that depending on what I have for dinner, my inspirations will be of different “types” (I’m just crazy… )
But since that has already been used, time for my runner up word:
Opportunity
… for fun, learning, passion, excitement, challenges, trustbuilding, designing, teamwork and everything else I just can’t seem to think of right now.
