UCLA
When we were at Ann Kerr's house for that lunch, she asked me to come to UCLA and talk to her students. The topic was America through different perspectives. I knew that the date would be January 18 and I was patiently waiting. There was no call till Tuesday, the day before so I almost thought that it had been cancelled. But then I got the call and it was the time for me to start my being nervous.......I am the expert of being nervous. (some people may be shocked)
I arrived at Ann's office at about 3:30 and we both walked to her classroom. The lesson started at 4 and there were about 20 students. I must say that despite the fact I was dying of nervousness, I really liked the class. The students had very interesting questions and seemed to be interested in what I told them about. I should have prepared myself much better for it but now it is too late to regret. It was a great experience for me. (one of many here)
Then we went back to Ann's office where she showed me a poster of her son Steve who is a professional basketball player. Steve Kerr who used to play with Michael Jordan, has five rings and is considered the best three-point shooter in NBA history. I was amazed!!! Ann also told me about her face- to -face encounter with Michael Jordan which I was thrilled about.
Ann is an incredible woman with incredibly interesting life.

Well! I am SURE you did a great job, despite being nervous (I really must teach you to chill =)). There are so many great people associated with UCLA--as you know. And you know it is my #1 favorite place in the city. I am glad you are making connections there, Professor Harajda. There is even more to see!
