Now that you've written it down and
shared it with us, I hope you feel better.
It made me feel better just reading about
your situation since I had similar events
with the other mentors.

The high school will survive without you.
Take a year or two off from FIRST. See how
regular people live between Jan. and March.
(try a boring life!)
Or join a different school; rookie teams are
a lot more energized.
Be a gun for hire!
I'm trying to imagine it... kind of silly)

I've being an engineer for 20 years and I seen
the same things happening in company projects
so I'm use to these disappoints.
Everyone said yes, yes, yes but no one wants
to work when it's crunch time.
They're like roaches, when the light go on
to all disappear. (it's a NYC thing.)

Best wishes at the game! Watch those smiling kids.
