| Story: |
In 2002, my family moved from a military background in Jacksonville, North Carolina to a rural area in Northern Alabama. Obviously, fitting in with a new community was a challenge and I did not find a niche very easily at first. Then, however, I heard about the BEST Robotics program from a teacher. The program was brand new at my school and I knew that getting involved would a great way to meet new people.
If there is anything that I definetly do over in high school, joining the BEST robotics team would be that decision. From BEST, I not only learned in areas of math and science; I discovered a vast, new community of people I can honestly call my friends. Everyday, I am proud to say that I contributed to a team that pulled together and created something extraordinary. In the times we won, we celebrated together. But the times that we lost were the ones that really pulled us together.
From BEST, I learned a new sense of commitment and work ethic. I have since gone on to persue an education far away from my roots in the South, but I will always remember the great times that I had with my fellow teammates. Sure, the times got tough and I was challenged with many obstacles, but I will always remember those obstacles as tests to better myself.
Finally, I can honestly say that BEST has changed my life in a great way. From 2002 2007, I was a part of a movement. I am proud to say that I am a part of that movement and will always remember the people who touched my life throughout my journey with BEST. |

| Story: |
| I was in the 1999 competition in Round Lake, IL. It was the most fun I had high school. I really learned a lot. My dad and another kids dad helped out which was great because the other kid and myself never really got to spend much time with our dads. I was able to bond with my dad on a level that I never could before, and since, I believe, our relationship is a thousand times better. I think that it is great what you as a company are doing for school kids. I am in the Air Force now working on avionics systems on the F-15. I think that a big contributor to me joining the Air Force was this experience. My parents didn't take any pictures of the competition, so if you guys took pictures I would love to have copies. My e-mail address is Volka_jhowell@yahoo.com. If you can't for legal reasons I understand but would still appreciate a responds to let me know. Thank you. |
