Re: Dealing With FIRST Withdrawal Symptoms?

One of the best things about being involved in FIRST is the tools it gives you to succeed in other areas as you grow. College is a great place that allows you to really follow your passions and really delve into what you would like to do when you grow up. You've already experienced FIRST as a student and there are years ahead of you to experience it as a mentor, so take the time you have right now to explore what college REALLY has to offer you. Get involved in some of the programs others have suggested and share the things you learned from the program with other's who weren't fortunate enough to have FIRST at their schools. The lessons you learned in FIRST can serve as a guide to you and your new friends in your future endeavors. Then you can take what you learned doing those new things and bring them back to students in the future and mentor them.

6 years ago I was in the same boat as you, I went from being on a team that demanded hours of my attention and encapsulated a lot of my life to being a full time college student with a ton of seemingly extra time. Rather than going to WildStang meetings and mentoring I became involved in my college. Now I can not only say that I won a Championship, a CCA, and wrote a WFA award, but started intercollegiate lobbying efforts, organized several key student projects for the Olympic Bid, and was Vice President of Student Government. All of which I am incredibly proud of and have helped shape where the college and City of Chicago are today. I couldn't have done any of this without what I learned in FIRST, but I couldn't properly inspire other students to achieve what I did in school without branching out. Try something new, be daring, be what FIRST taught you to be and change the world around you.
