Dude, you don't know feeling old. When I started in FIRST (way back in 1997), I was a fresh college graduate (in 1996). I was only a few years older than the seniors back then and I could relate pretty well to the students.
Fast forward to this year when I had the realization that we have students on our team that
weren't even born when I started mentoring in FIRST. Now
THAT makes you feel old. Yuck.
As bad as that makes me feel, I can always take comfort in looking at my good buddy Ken Patton and saying, "how's it going, old man?"
