My post was merely meant in fun. Yes, I get angry when I work really hard for the team and it doesn't appear to be appreciated (who wouldn't?). But then I watch a freshman come onto the team in September, and look at how (s)he is doing now, some 7 months later, and then I get a Thank You card from the Chairman's Award committee that I mentored, or a hug from our team captain, or get challenged to a race with the studnets on the stairs at the Congress Center, and all that anger melts away. I LOVE working with the students, good or bad.
