Re: [OCCRA]: Gap Year FIRST Students

I'm a 2016 FIRST graduate as well. I've decided on taking at least 1 gap year with some low-key involvement in FIRST (like volunteering at offseason and season events). I made the decision because I knew Engineering school would be a tough transition from high school. I also wanted to take the time to explore other organizations in college that may interest me.

I believe this is a common thing for FIRST students taking at least a gap year, but I know a many cases where a student starts mentoring right away.
