Participating in FPS was a good experience, because I got to see that it isn't very hard to be able to be a part of a group team and participate in something. FPS is a great way for kids, who don't really have any other activities, to be on a team and work hard towards a goal. It's nice to be a part of something bigger and be able to compete in a competition where there is a 1 st and 2nd place. Also, it's really fun to be able to travel to someplace and compete there. It gives you a sense that you can really accomplish something and reach someplace higher if you are equipped with the talent and good work ethic that's needed to succeed. And winning was good too - Michelle Zhang, Torrey Hills School, Junior division.
