My passion for Computer Science started in my high school robotics club. In the club I got to be a part of a group that accepted me for being me. While we were not the most popular group we got to take part in some unforgettable moments. One of which is competing in the Grand Canyon University arena. Our team participated in the West FIRST Robotics Competition Regionals and there we got to play in the arena. It was in the heart of GCU campus and when college students were there too. This allowed us to get to see campus during school but also miss our own class. We won the 2016 competition, which was our clubs first regional win. This went down in history for our club and showed us a whole new side of FRC. We approached the next year’s competition with determination and a new drive to get back to the championship.

The arena offered a modern arena that I have not yet experienced. While the above picture does not look like much it is the exterior that provides a sort of beauty to it. When you are walking outside of the seats and the concourse, you will notice that during the day you can see outside. The front glass exterior provides a great overlook on the outside lawn and is near the concession stand. The lawn outside was always where my friends and I tossed around the football between matches as it provided a great break from everything inside the arena.
