Today, October 28, 2010, our class was fortunate to hear Mr. Bob P. speak. He spoke about a lot of different topics that what our other speakers have talked on. I felt like I learned how to be a better person today instead of learning of just general aspects of what he does. He shared a lot of quotes and meanings to those quotes and gave us great advice on being successful in life.
Bob attended and received degrees from various colleges as a student and has seen lots of young adults pass him by while working at the college he is at now. He has been at Berry for 29 years now and couldn’t ask for more out of each day that he is there. He explained how every day is different for him. Some of the things he could be doing on any given day would consist of teaching any P.E. classes, and advising coaches or students. In his almost 30 years of experience he thinks the biggest difference that he has seen with student learning is the hands on experiences they endure these days compared to the very little in the past.
I was very intrigued with his presentation and what he said today. The one thing that I will probably remember most about him speaking is probably the word LAGNIAPPE. It means this: Always do more than is expected of you. I think if I keep this in mind, no matter what it is I do in life, I shall be successful.
