Craig,

One thing to keep in mind is that when dealing with high school students what you see in a person at the beginning of the year changes significantly by build season. As Scott said above team 1155 has an application process aimed at filtering out those who will not be dedicated or are likely to goof off ( I can give anyone interested more details on our methods and the results we see) but we are often times wrong. High Schoolers are strange and sneaky beings and are not only willing to lie to get onto a team they think will look good an an application but are also capable of changing their minds as time goes on. We have on multiple occasions had students who demonstrated a deep interest at events before they even entered our school and appeared to be very promising in the first few months but later on for one reason or another stopped showing up by the middle of december.
