Chances are, I will either be in Roanoke attending community college to transfer to Virginia Tech (don't hate me?
) or, if I am accepted, I may go straight into Virginia Tech. I've been recently working out some personal issues that have been affecting my school, and I'm still trying to decide what I would prefer to do.
There is a good chance/rumoured confirmation that my high school will be starting an FRC team. It's kind of a complicated situation with that, but to nutshell it, I moved away from my old FRC team last March and the only FIRST team in and reasonably close to Roanoke was an FTC team, so I joined that.
If my school starts a team, I definitely want to help them get on their feet, but, again, I will need help managing the schedule. I have a bad habit of overestimating my abilities and burning myself out. Any advice with my college plan would also be greatly appreciated.
I have been considering possibly helping with the team as a FIRST Alumni, without being a completely devoted mentor. Would that be unreasonable?
Thanks for the help.
