As captain of the robotics team, I’m appreciative of the experience and knowledge gained throughout my years.
Since being a member in ninth grade and now as a senior, I’ve learned valuable skills that has helped me to transition successfully throughout my high school years.
Being a member of the robotics team has made a difference in my life by keeping me actively involved in a various competitions and working together as a team. Most importantly, I have developed my leadership skills and value the importance of being a leader. I believe I will always be a step ahead of other students in engineering and technology because of my vast experiences.
I have participated in many, many robotics events and competitions. I remember my first event as a ninth grader, which was my most memorable. The event was “Rebound Rumble” and although we did not qualify for the national competition, I was asked to participate in the event with another team.
Most recently, we entered the “Recycle Rush” event in Waterford. It was it my last time as a leader. Our robots was successful and even though we did not place, I enjoyed my final competition.
I will miss my team members, as well as my mentors, Andrea Minor and Maria Ruby Padiernos.
I’m happy that I had the opportunity to be part of something big. I have learned valuable life lessons and had the pleasure of meeting exciting people.
