Last year, I took FIRST way too seriously. I made it my first priority with everything. Yeah... it did bring about chairmans and the championship and all that, but it screwed up a lot of other things - and the process wasnt entirely fun. To a point, I even ignored friends and family. Was it worth it? I ask myself all the time. But my suggestion is not to take FIRST that seriously and learn to have fun with other things and keep the other things at a higher priority than FIRST(Like your school work, even though you learn more in FIRST

). Addiction to almost anything is bad, so learn to control yourself and your life. Don't let an addiction control you and your life.
