Just before I returned home for the holiday season I had the pleasure of having one more session with my ehoopers on Wednesday. Of course we had fun, the usual but we also ( the six Ulster University scholars) were given early cute Christmas gifts from them all which was awesome. I was given a blow up queen crown which I loved. We also were given the opportunity to see the Ireland footage seen on national television with CBS shown at the Belfast Classic. My self and Matt got the awesome opportunity to be in the footage as well as interview some very important,inspiring and highly accomplished individuals as well. I had a lovely time interviewing Olympic gold medalist Dame Mary Peters, and she was in my opinion quite lovely. Every Wednesday session with the ehoopers is always enjoyable in my opinion though, we have just grown to connect and develop a friendship. They say you never know where you will find friends even if it is a million miles away form America, sports has brought us all closer and giving us a bond with these people. It has been a pleasure and I can’t wait to se them after holiday break to see how everyone enjoyed and spent there holiday season. They all wished as happy holidays on our trips back home or wherever we were going (as some were choosing to travel for the holidays) and we did the same with them. PS- the five star pizza we have at every session is always good as well too, I think its secretly everyone’s favorite part of the day.
