This is the main point of FIRST. If you can't believe the acronym, what CAN you believe?
That said, we have two graduating seniors this year, and at least one plans to try and stay involved next year. I will point him to this thread so he sees the stories everyone has shared, but obviously it's up to him to know if he can handle it.
