 when I was a ball setter at PARC one year (6th grade?). As soon as I saw what High school students could do with thier own two hands and how they mingled with industry, I knew, at that moment, it was for me. - henryBsick [more] |

Re: Attn: Present & Future College Students, Think carefully before you mentor
As a College mentor, I agree with this.
It is not wise for the baker to starve himself. Remember that if you do provide your help to a team like I did, you are provideing what you can, if you provide too much, you will lose track of your future and eventually you will slide in your studies. I know too that Robotics has occationaly slid my grades a bit. So instead of attending robotics, I stayed and did my work and was an inseration for the students to make sure that they do their work, rather than spend all their time on the robot. A college mentor's greatest gift for a team is the willingness to continue education and to show that there is a future for them all.
