The school is about 40 miles from home and work. It's about an hour drive normally.

I live in an area that is fairly affluent, and the vast majority of parents are professionals. The students at those schools have lots of great role models in their own home. I choose to mentor at a school in which most of the students have never met a real engineer before joining FIRST.
