I strongly believe that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so I want to be able to motivate every member to actively participate because everyone is important, and they are all able to contribute to the team in some way.

Being a leader is being able to overcome obstacles and be able to stay positive and optimistic in order to achieve a larger goal.

My robotics team and myself had to work together to create a robot that would complete tasks specified by the First Tech Challenge. We had to work together to decide what we wanted to achieve, and create a design to accomplish those goals.
