Hello there! My name is Araba Aikins and I’m a freshman at RHS. This is my first year on the robotics team. I heard of robotics through my brother who’s a sophomore on the software team. Nemesis is such a great team and so far I’ve learned so many things about robotics. Not only is the team amazing but the people who make the team are awesome and I can’t wait to spend the next six weeks with them. When I’m not in the tech lab, you can find me playing field hockey with my friends or volunteering at the local library. Additionally, I’m a senior Girl Scout of central and southern New Jersey and just received my silver award. Additionally, I’m an active member of the Interact club here at RHS. I’ve also been voted in as vice president of the freshman class. I hope Nemesis teaches me more about STEM and teaches me more about time management. Overall, I just hope that Nemesis will be a life changing experience for me. I hope to pursue a career in medicine or engineering in the future. For now I can’t wait to see what this season not only brings me, but my fellow freshmen!
