Re: Seniors

It's worse when you're still able to actually be a part of the team the year after you graduate. I think I took it pretty well, but it was tough for me to actually let the students take over for the most part, and for me to just step back into a mentoring role. That wasn't helped when I had to program the robot one year due to a lack of interest, which brought back the feelings of being on the student side.

Even though the team disbanded, I'm now in the mindset of being a mentor. The way I see it is, I want the students to have the same experience and attachment that I did in the program, so I don't want to get in the way.
