Re: Mentoring as a College Freshman
I like Zach's philosophy on the topic.
If you are really committed to helping a team, do it in a role where if you don't show up the team can still function without you. For example, if you want to go machine parts for a Saturday that is a great way to contribute. Don't take on large amounts of responsibility though.
I mentored for 2 years as a freshman and sophomore, and took junior and senior year off. I enjoyed life a lot more as a junior and senior, but to each their own.
You only get to experience college for 4 (hopefully not 5 or 6) years, FIRST will be around when you get out.
