Re: FIRST after Highschool

I graduated last year and am greatly enjoying mentoring my old team this year!

Our team is in a unique situation, with only a small handful of people from years past. It's almost all newer people.

When I contacted the team a few weeks before kickoff, I was disappointed to hear they didn't do much thinking about robotics, and the new guys didn't know much more than they did at the start of the year. I was originally planning on mentoring occationally, but I've been there every day this week, enjoying it.

I'm also enjoying teaching guys how to do things, it's cool being the one teaching instead of the one learning... but I still have plenty of learning to do too!


During the winter break, a handful of college mentors are helping, but as soon as school starts they won't be around. I live close to my high school, and I intend to help through the season... but probably not every day once they have a handle on things!
