About Me
- emmjay
- Since I'm a hard-core sports fan I'll describe myself by spotlighting one of my favorite athletes: Andre Agassi who is inspiring in addition to being a world class athlete. Andre's farewell speech from tennis at the US Open in 2007 was pretty much the classiest thing I've ever seen in sports; it moved me to tears. His charity - a public school and foundation for underprivileged children - rocks. It's one of my favorite charities of all time because of the hand-in-hand community approach it takes, respecting the people it serves while also challenging them to be partners in meeting their own community's needs. His involvement and leadership and the compassion he has for needy kids and their struggling parents in my opinion trump his accomplishments as an athlete, even in spite of his status as one of the greatest tennis players and athletes in history. He's shown that he has something more to offer humankind through his leadership and example. Being a sports fan, I couldn't be prouder.
