I thought about mentoring when I came to college. Then I started working, joining a sorority, a community group, and just hanging out. To be honest, I'm glad I'm not mentoring a team. WPI's term system basically leaves C Term parallel to the build season. I can not afford to lose my scholarship by devoting too much time to FIRST instead of classes.

I enjoy volunteering. Volunteering is a great way to allow yourself to still be involved in FIRST. FIRST constantly needs volunteers for events. You see a different side of the events. You get to see how the FIRST magic is made. You don't have to worry about the team or team drama.
