While this is a compelling story, it seems more of a summary of your career in vex, rather than what vex has done for you.

@penguinfrk Actually, I agree! I only wrote this in 10 minutes, and didn't even have time to go over it - I only read it through once before entering it! I wanted to say more about the impact of VEX, but it was hard enough just trying to fit our story into only 250 words.

The writing was very clear, but, aside from the final paragraph, there wasn't a very broad mention of the impact of VEX beyond the robotics club. In other words, I think the content could've been a bit deeper.
