School is important. Failing classes is a bad thing, especially at college where you are directly paying to learn.

Going to every meeting might be important, but being able to finacillay support yourself is even more important. Some say that money isn't important, but it sure does make things easier.

Jason Morella told a few of us volunteers at the LA regional in 2003 (after we treked down from the San Jose Regional the weekbefore) that missing alot of classes and losing jobs is not worth it for FIRST. You need to look after yourself, because how can you help support FIRST if you can't support yourself?
