I told myself the same thing back in fall of 2005. Now I am here and this will probably be my last season with a team for a while until I set my life straight. I am one of those college students who put FIRST before everything.

I hope my post helps you understand how you should make your decision about being involved in FIRST while in college. Throughout the years, I have skipped classes to be in the machine shop (of course I had to stay up nights to make up for school but it's not easy to do so). I have always talked to my professors about being involved in FIRST and they were supportive of it. I have also taken semesters off so I can make some money and be involved with FIRST.

Of course, you can be involved and go to school at the same time; but I would highly suggest to not to be involved 100%. If I could change back anything in the last 4 years; it would be to only work on events I have organized and volunteer at the events.
