Re: Graduate -> Mentor

So far our team hasn't had any graduates come back and mentor mostly due to our team being relatively young. I think I'll be the first graduate to return and mentor in some way.

At the moment I am planning on being sort of a "part-time" or "remote mentor" for my high school team 4761. The only reason I'm even thinking about doing this is because I'll be on break during the first two or three weeks of build season and I'll possibly be on spring break at the same time as one of the competitions we're going to attend. If I didn't have those breaks that would make it easy to work with my team, I don't think I'd be mentoring. From there I'll see how well I use my time during the breaks to help my team and see if I get too drawn into working remotely with the team when I'm back at school to the point where it affects my grades.

Since I'll know most of the students who will be on the team next year, having been one of the team co-presidents this past year, I'm expecting and hoping my transition will be pretty easy.
