I've never been too crazy about baseball and basketball. In fact, before I googled "Bob Costas" Wednesday, I had no idea how incredible a man he is besides the general idea that oh he's this big guy in sportscasting. But after yesterday's class, after having the extremely fortunate opportunity of seeing and hearing he speak in person, I became a Bob Costas fan.

One of the reasons I admire Costas so much, besides the fact that he's simply a genuine and approachable guy who is a legend in sportscasting, is that he is really open-minded and liberal. As a international student who comes from a completely different cultural background and whose mother tongue is not English, I know from personal experience how important it is to repect and appreciate differences. Bob knows that, too, and that's why I respect him so much.

I'm also grateful for what the speakers shared with us. They weren't just going blah blah blah at all- they were actually giving us information which is very useful and has a direct effect on us. I feel really lucky to be part of this class and to have the chance to hear them talk in person.
