I have enough time to build the set for my school plays and run sound and lights for concerts held at the school as well, so I a not limited to this program. But if I were to choose FRC and another option, like a vacation (or some other presumably fun activity) I would choose FRC.
FRC has so many different aspects to it that you never get bored and you can never feel out of place, because no one else knows how to approach the challenges at the beginning of the season. (The challenges presented in the game for that year, you must all go through the design process.)

For me it is an Obsession. Unfortunately that Obsession made my grade drop last year. So I will be doing an even amount of school and FIRST this year.
For me FIRST has gotten me to meet a TON of people from around the world. Amazing and nice to talk to people. I have become friends with a lot of them also. And it gives me tha chance to work with my hands, learn outside of school and do something I have a Passion for. Dean Kamen is now the man who inspire's me to do things, like now I want to invent things (mainly as a side projects). I already have ideas for what to invent so hopefully that will work out
I get to work with world class engineers, talk with people from Nasa and Bowing, Say "I've Met Him!" when I see Dave Lavery in the control lab for Nasa. These are the coolest things ever. FIRST is helping my goals in life happen, and I'm hoping that will bring me to good places in the future.
