Unexpected Encounters

Yesterday at the hotel in San Jose, Costa Rica,on our way to dinner at the restaurant.  I ran into a blind kid just about our age covered in University of California gear. Honestly, I didn’t think much of it at all, just said hey and passed by. Then something clicked in me. With me being a major sports fan I remembered an article on ESPN about a young blind boy who was a major USC fan that practiced with the team, hung out with them, and sat on the sidelines of their games this year. He was all over ESPN and because of that article I recognized him! I was like woah! You’re that guy from ESPN from last fall! He was like yeah that was me. We talked sports and talked a little smack about Lane Kiffin leaving Tennessee for USC, and got my picture taken with him!
