rather not

Code
(define hello-world
 (lambda ()
   (begin
     (write 'Hello-World)
     (newline)
     (hello-world))))  


looks like a type heavy language that doesnt add anything to the programming experience.

much rather do C

If you ever do some kind of functional-esque language like Javascript (which you probably will), you will understand it much, much easier with Scheme background. Also, if you are not comfortable with recursion, then Scheme will help you master it.
