So much has happened in the last week i can't even begin to describe. I am not exaggerating when i say that the events that occurred are possibly life changing. Maybe i exaggerated when i said so much happened, its more of a so much happened in one event kind of thing. Well anyway onto the story. As i said in the last post Maui High First Robotics Team or Blue thunder or Team 2443 won the Hawaii Regional a few weeks ago. That win earned us a spot in the FIRST Robotics world Championships in Georgia. Now with Championships being so close and with little money left in the team account I didn't think we would actually be able to go no matter how much i wanted it to happen. But thanks to the Support of various companies throughout Hawaii we were able to raise $20,000 in three weeks, enough money for us to take the entire team. When it was time to finally leave it all still felt like a dream, it was so hard to believe that we were actually going. When we finally got there the scale of the competition was unlike anything we had ever imagined four FRC fields, Three FLL Fields and two FTC fields all on the floor of the georgia dome. The world congress hall was Filled with the work station of every single team. robots as far as the eye can see. the competition was intense from the start. We knew the game and we knew how to play it, the only variable was whether or not it would work with the teams we were paired up with. I cannot begin to describe the other robots on the field... super-human minds went into creating those beasts. On that field there was so much pressure on our team because if we had lost it would have most likely been our fault. we played strict defense and were able to shut down some of the top scorers in the entire competition. just being there was a thrill but performing the way we did made it all worth while, and the team really bonded over the course of the trip. We were no longer a team, we were more of a family than anything. No matter the out come of the matches we always looked up because we were in a position that some only dream of doing. Being known as one of the world's best. The Hawaii Regional was definetly luck, but at Championships we proved that we belong in atlanta. Beside being one of the four teams from hawaii to make it to Georgia we also broke other milestones: We had the best record out of any Hawaii team [5-2-0] , Highest seed among Hawaii teams, 18th out of 87 in curie division, and the first team from Maui to make it to Georgia. there are so many people to thank and yet there is still so much work to be done. Next year is my final year and there is no way im settling for less than what we did this year ^^

I know some of you may not understand this but a while ago she wanted to know hoe this story ends. but our time was cut short, but out of that experience i mad a new friend . So now almost 5 months later she finally gets the ending to her story.

sorry i was really bored. thought i'd kinda reminisce about when i used to do this sort of thing

Mindy and Choukichi met in a real awkward way but it was from that moment on they realized they would be as close as friends become. On his first day at Hilcrest High, Choukichi fell down the stairs on the way to his dorm room. The loud crash alarmed mindy and she ran outside as soon as she could. as she stepped out she saw the boy had fallen down the stairs. After the two had introduced themselves and went their separate ways it wasnt long till mindy's curiosity kicked in. She decided to go see kichi in his dorm room to see what he was up to. it was there she met his little red panda shizu and she was always full of energy. kichi felt like he could tell anything to mindy and that no matter what she would stick by him. so he told her of his dark past how he had lost everything he had ever loved. it wasnt long till the two of them realized that what they felt for each other was more than just friendship, even shizu could tell that the two of them loved each other. As the holidays came closer and closer Kichi knew that Mindy would be leaving him.

hmm... mental block

Pen you wanna write some? its your story too after all
