Isn't that why we're involved in FIRST?
Just like the old saying goes: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."

I am not trying to discriminate anyone, but I believe we American students are spoiled. We live in the only super power left in this world. There are people out there that will literally KILL to get the opportunities we have in the States. Foreigners know how to pursue education like it's their only option. To most, it really is. Most of American students take it for granted, they see it as a right, not a privilege. Education should not be seen as a stepping stone to riches, but more as the liberation from ignorance.
