That's because FIRST is a way of life, a passion, a reason to wake up and go to school for some of us, and schoolwork is just a necessary evil. =p

My mom pulled the same approach, "Why can't you be so focused on schoolwork as you are on robotics?"

The answer: My passion isn't filling out papers. It's calculating tolerances, lengths, measurements, milling stuff, drilling, assembling, and watching all my hard work either succeed or fail. My passion is mechanical stuff. My passion is troubleshooting.

My passion is FIRST.
