As team captain of the Biohazards, I must say, I'm very proud of you guys, and even though I'm graduating this year, I'm addicted to this sport and must come back for more next year.
Thanks guys, for a terrific season!   |
Congrats! I would suggest (if you're going away to college next year) that you should look into FIRST teams in the area you're going to see if any in your area could use help. I spent my first year in college traveling back and forth 2 hours to help during the weekends as a 'Mentor in Training' and it sure was a lot of work. I found that even with being there many weekends it wasn't enough to support the team as much as I wanted and also brought down my studies. Since then I have found a team in my area which needed help (only had one or two mentors at the time, neither engineering-oriented) which me and and another teammate that came here have helped for the past two seasons, bringing them to the eliminations for the first time last weekend. I have found working with a team closer when I'm available during the week and weekends is better (for me at least) because I am around to help them more and can come back to the college setting to do work after helping them for the day.
Good luck to you and your team in the future.
