Re: College Teams--What's the Coolest Part?

After now being a mentor for a year, and looking forward to several more, the coolest part is seeing the same look in the high schoolers eyes that I had in high school. That new and innocent interest in these machines, what they do, how they work, the "wow that is so cool, we actually did this?" That is the best part I would have to say, by far the coolest part. Seeing the look once they get what it is all about, the tears, and the emotion. And then once you arrive at that last comp, or dinner, seeing the emotion in their eyes, both of joy and of sadness, knowing that you were able to touch someones life in so many ways, and then seeing them move on to touch more lives, that is awesome. Also as it was said, the relationships that you can form, being so close in age. You can relate college to the real world, and really push home the advantages of school. Gosh all this thinking has gotten me all worked up for next season now!
