Day 2: Inspiration person(s)
I'm a huge sports fan, I enjoy just about every sport there is. So for the rest of my life, I want to be around sports, and until a few years ago, I had no idea what the best way would be to do that besides being a professional athlete myself. Then one morning I was watching Sportscenter, listening to Neil Everett and Scott Van Pelt giving us the latest sports news. And then it hit me. THAT'S what I want to do. In the mornings, they anchor Sportscenter, and in the afternoons, they have their own radio shows. This way they can announce the latest sports news to the nation and then later talk about what they think about the news. This would be perfect for me, if only ESPN wasn't based all the way up in Bristol, Connecticut...I'd prefer not to go so far away from my hometown of Athens, Georgia. However, having a local radio sports talk station would be a dream come true for me. Neil Everett and Scott Van Pelt, even though I have never met them in my life, are the two men that helped me realize exactly what I want to do with my life. I would love to meet them and tell them this one day.
