Here is my short answer about the effect that FIRST Robotics has had on my academics. ANy help is appreciated
PROMPT-Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (1000 character maximum).
The robot glides forward, effortless sucks up a ball, and shoots. Such simple actions drew me in to the most complex sport in the world; FIRST Robotics. I walked into our school's inaugural Robotics meeting in a state of occupational purgatory: I had absolutely no idea of what I wanted to be when I grew up. Four years later, after prolonged stints in virtually every career path that FIRST allowed me to explore, I have found my niche in the hectic, inventive, and fun world of FIRST. Not engineering; not computer programming; I chose marketing.
FIRST facilitated the discovery of my passion as much as it allowed me to evaluate my weaknesses. Through my years of bouncing around from different sub teams, FIRST was always a source of intellectual thinking and, as the organization puts it, hard fun. So, as I finally settle down with my robotics experience in PR, video, and fundraising, I still find myself anticipating each robotics meeting in order to help my team, and myself, excel in pursuits off of the playing field.

Robotics sounds like a lot of fun! Good luck with school!~
