Sometimes all it takes is an idea and an individual with the ability and desire to see it through. <\/p>
Jacob Mugler, a recent Windsor High School graduate, is one such person. Due in large part to his initiative, the high school developed and began a robotics program that will continue for years to come. <\/p>
Jacob is a young man who is an excellent student and person, Principal Bill Johnston wrote. He was also very instrumental in helping us get our robotics program started this year. <\/p>
Jacob stepped up as a senior and was very involved with this program and showed great leadership, commitment and dedication to this program and was a great role model to those who may choose to be a part of our robotics program in the future, Johnston added. <\/p>
For Mugler, being involved in school was both part of his fondest memories and also a source of regret. <\/p>
My fondest memories of high school were hanging out with friends and participating in sports, Mugler said. I regret not being involved in more activities and academics and I wish I would have given football a try. <\/p>
Mugler was involved in Future Farmers of America, Skills USA, National Honor Society, baseball, basketball, track, Clinton Technical Center Honor Society, Samsung Technology Grant Committee, robotics, Missouri Boys State, Windsor Youth Baseball, Truman Lake Fall Baseball, Community Clean Up, Booster Club Youth Carnival, working in the concession stands. and FFA Ag Awareness. <\/p>
The robotics team played a large part in his senior year. <\/p>
Jacob was an instrumental part of the robotics program this year, said Kimberly Luetjen, robotics team sponsor at Windsor. Jacob took on a leadership role within the club to help engineer and design our robot for the first year of competition. <\/p>
With everything being new to the school year, Jacob took the initiative to teach himself how to build the robot in a computer software program and also how to program the robot to move on command, she added. Jacob aided younger students in the construction of the robot. He really shined in the robotics program and was a key part of our success. <\/p>
Part of Muglers love of robotics may be born from his love of computers. <\/p>
When I have free time I enjoy playing games on the computer with friends, visiting friends, and playing summer baseball, Mugler commented. I am planning to attend State Fair Community College for two years and then transfer to the University of Central Missouri. I am currently looking into studying fields pertaining to computers and aeronautics. <\/p>
Mugler, who said he admired and looked up to his mother and father as role models, offered this advice to incoming freshmen: Get involved in different activities and pay attention to your academics including taking college classes in high school if you are planning to attend college. <\/p>
