I've said it before but not every active HS FIRST-ER can do it in college. when you are in college FIRST is an entirely different ballgame. and in my opinion most people come out of HS and look to first in college to fill the void for a "robot building good time" but this is not the case. college mentoring has it's own enjoyment (seeing students you inspire accomplish something, watching others enjoy and experience something that you did. but when it comes down to it FIRST is very different in college and it is OKAY not to do first at the same level in college. i honestly would recommend not doing it your first year because there are so many other things about college to enjoy that first might put a damper on your educational experience.

i guess what i am trying to say is that there is a place in FIRST for everyone no matter their age but that place changes as the years go on and that is fine. Just remember to apply the things you learned in FIRST to you life and be a success, that is all Dean wants with his homework every year.
