Haha naaa, I read the whole thing. You forget, you said that to the guy who loves to type up like 135125013513 page essay like things, then read it all once I'm done. Yeah, that must be cool to have people so into your piece that they start to cry. That's the type of stuff when I hear makes me think twice about whatever it is (if it be football, forensics, etc. that their talking about).
The thing I love mostly about badminton is how much of an impact that I notice I've made. There is people throughout the office that I've never met that know of me just because I'm the first black guy to be on the team. My house principle even came to watch my game... I was like, "Wow... here I am thinking out of 4,400 kids I'll never be noticed". There's peers who even know of me without meeting me. Rather it be because of criticism for being black and playing an "asain sport", or rather it be of praise. It doesn't stop there though... I've also (even if it were few) changed them from being racist (ignorant), to actually being able to accept another ethnicity. For you see, freshman year the coach didn't even like me. He acted pretty racist towards me, and I'm not just saying that... you could tell. Though, come sophomore year he treated me just like any other player. *Shrugs* Maybe it's just me, but the feeling you get after noticing something like that is unbelievable.
Well, yeah, props up to forensics. You guys have made me defiantly think about joining a couple of times. The two reasons I haven't sat down and gave it much, much, much thought is because - One, I'm a junior, and will only be able to do it for one year & Two, it's hard to do badminton and forensics from what I've heard.
Hmmm,
Buh-Bye
