Anyone else ever see "Mr. Holland's Opus"? Somehow FIRST mentors seem to follow Richard DRyfus' path. You know we set out to be famous musicians, get sidetracked teaching kids all about being in a high school marching band for money to support the family while we get our hot music career off the ground...
It is amazing how things work out sometimes. You get involved in this intially because building robots sounds cool or maybe you like to work with young impressionable minds...Little do you know that FIRST can overtake your life. Once your here, it seems that no matter what you do you just can't leave. No matter how many times you say "I Quit" either out loud or in your head, something turns you into a hypocrite and you return despite yourself. Maybe we all just like hittting ourselves in the head with a hammer repeatedly or we end up making some really good friends here and love celabrating the freedom to creatively express and share awsome ideas...
