Re: A hard decision for a college student
I'm glad you made that choice given your reasoning. I've seen too many people try to mentor in college but do so for the wrong reasons. When that happens, it's frequently bad for the students and also bad for the mentor. The students don't get the mentoring they need and the mentor gets fed up and leaves FIRST.

Not working with a team is a hard decision to make. That doesn't mean you can't be involved with FIRST. It's important to realize that you can choose your involvement with FIRST. Don't assume that there's anything you have to do.

Matt
