Volunteering in FIRST

Currently listening to: Orange Island - Diet of Worms

So I've always been interested in volunteering for FIRST beyond working with a team. Don't get me wrong, I will ALWAYS be with a team. I feel that my strongest talent that I can contribute is my mechanical and problem solving skills, so, mentoring a team is the best place for me. But, I love being at competitions and helping out if I'm not competing.

So far, I've helped out at several off season competitions as either field reset or reffing once at Mayhem last year. Well, this year I was stage crew for the BAE regional in Manchester, NH. It was my first real event and it was a lot of fun. I just reffed at Beantown Blitz on Saturday and now they want me to ref Mayhem again this summer in 3 weeks. They said that I might even be the head ref. That's hot.

And there's rumors about me having a much larger role at a regional next year. I'm excited...
