Hi, my name is Nancy Phelps.  I am a non-traditional student at Drake University.  I am pursuing a degree in elementary education with an endorsement in reading.  This is my last semester at Drake before I start my student teaching.  I have two children; Jackie, age 23 and Drew age 20.   I have many hobbies which include running, biking, and swimming.  I also spend a lot of my time with my boyfriend Steve.  And I love to travel.
     The video of out team's namesake is moving.  I admire people who face a challenge and conquer that challenge.  I admire Mr. Kamen for his dedication to this project.  I can only imagine how far this will go in our world.  The soldiers that have put their life on the line for our freedom will benefit so vastly from this technology.   I have seen robotics in the movies but in real life it is even more impressive.  I hope that I can meet my challenges as Mr. Kamen has and I hope to also make positive changes in my student's lives.
