<p>hey, just so you know, its pretty shady to lie for your activities... </p>

<p>There's no way you won the FIRST robotics championship in 07 and 08 no team has won it back to back since 2002, and judging if your from Novi they haven't won that in at least four years...but yeah I know most of the Novi kids (we go to some of the same competitions) and they are a good team who put in a lot of time on their robot, so props to you for being on that team.</p>

<p>Good luck in your college process, and please don't lie on your applications.</p>

<p>Attended- sorry.
The correct usage would be National Championship Participants?
Thanks for pointing that out. I was mislead by the phrase on the backs of our shirts
"Team 503, national champions)</p>

<p>EDIT: I revisited the shirts, it said Nationally Ranked Champions. Thank you so much for pointing that out.</p>

<p>dude i think you would know if you won the national championship three times. it is honestly a "lightning strikes once" experience to be crowned champions in the georgia dome while the whole front side of it is filled to the max. you have to beat 350 teams after beating eighty teams to qualify and your robot has to last through fifty matches without losing ground. novi won in 2005 and as far as I remember they put 2005 World Champions on their shirts for the upperclassmen who were actually on the team. are you even on the team dude, you say your VP, but I know the VP and she's a white girl as far as I remember?</p>

<p>Sorry, I'm just on a team around a half hour away from you guys, we come to your kickoff every year. I just really hate when people just put activities on their applications that they don't do when I put my heart and soul into my team - over 20 hours a week combined with varsity football and track and maintaining a 4.0 like you do. you seem to have enough grades and stats to get in, so just be honest with the colleges and you will end up in a great place where you belong.</p>
