Surprise!

Last week's class was full of surprises. First with Patrick's senior project and then with John's chat. Patrick's project seemed really awesome, especially because it was something so close to home and I had no idea about! I like the idea of spreading awareness not only on this topic (which proved to be successful) but in general. Patrick knows the power of knowledge and word of mouth is great and feels strongly about promoting it. During the break, it was cool to hear him sound so surprised about being a part of the symposium and that if he were to be awarded money, he would have liked to donate it to a cause related to his project. Really cool to hear a college kid with loans and the like say something like that. Ty's dad John was totally random, yet totally relevant to our class. It was awesome to see someone so involved in the Tahoe community and hear his past and future projects. I hope to go to the big boat event in June and be involved with more of his projects. Also, a friend sent this to me, thought you might find it interesting. Sad really.
