How FIRST has impacted my life!

I learned about The Flying Platypi through Tony Federico, a guy at my church who was a mentor for the team, and through one of their promotional buttons. I joined FIRST robotics because I knew it would look really good on a college application, but it has also given me a chance to explore areas I had interest in. It has introduced me to a lot of new and interesting people and has also broadened my interests in STEM. For instance, I never thought that I would like programming, but now I do! I have learned so many new things, and I am gaining a lot of knowledge that I can use to help me know what I want to be. I am looking forward to my first competition!
