realize that in less than three years, AI would touch everything I do —
from school projects to software debugging, even revising this very essay. But it was in the Summer of 2023 that
my best friend asked me a life-changing question: ``How does it work?'' I was completely clueless, and I told him
that a stenographer was typing at the other end. As months passed and my AI usage expontially increased,

My heart was pounding relentlessly: every second felt like an eternity. It was my first robotics
competition, and my code would determine our team's advancement. As the delay continues, my mind
races with all the possible errors. Finally, the announcer begins his countdown, and all I can think of
is the robot crashing into the wall, ending our competition. The buzzer sounds, I press play — nothing.
No movement, the robot simply stays in place. As I watched the program fail over the next
thirty seconds, all I felt was pure embarrassment. Losing in the final round, I promised myself that I would
my code would never perform so poorly again. \\\\
And so it began, my alcoholic addition towards the First Tech Challenge (FTC). Entering high school,
I switched from my middle school team to a small community team consisting of the same crew from
Schimelpfenig Robotics. At this point, I was an experienced programmer in FTC, but my actual skillset
matched that of a grape. I knew no programming languages, I couldn't understand high-level concepts, and
I was yet to learn even 5\% of the mathematics needed for autonomous navigation. I was thrown into the
deep end of the pool, and our team had to stay afloat. \\\\
I learned. I learned the basics of the Java
programming language, and I had joined the school's CS Club to better my skills. Before I knew it,
I was able to make our robot fully move and score points using only Java. As my team's sole programmer,
I slowly learned how to use sensors, motors, and servos. Progress was finally made. Our team had mustered
enough capability to become a state finalist, and we were finally excelling. Entering my sophomore year,
I became a relatively decent programmer, and our team had expanded to include other programmers. That Summer,
I took on a challenge to code an autonomous pathing system, and after 4 months of constant iteration,
my code could finally move a robot from point to point accurately. Leading our software unit, I had
expanded our autonomous and driver operated capabilities to a world-class level, ranking in the top 30 globally
in autonomous rank. Today, as I continue to spend countless hours on robotics, I continue to learn and
improve, and hopefully my team can win the world championship this year.
