I’m really grateful for FIRST. It gave me a place to find myself in High School, a community and a fun activity to do in college, and a job I love, impacting thousands of students, and the opportunity to move across the globe to an epic city, upon graduation.
I think that the infamous “TSIMFD” sums up my feelings about FIRST quite nicely.
I joined my team freshman year thanks to a bandmate plugging it and it quickly became the thing I wanted to keep doing more and more in high school. It’s been an awesome three years and the fourth’s gonna be even better.
Besides just having a great time going “omg! robots”, I’ve met a ton of awesome people thanks to participating in FRC. They’ve taught me a whole lot of stuff and I’m incredibly grateful for all of them.
