This week the other Ulster Scholars and myself had to the privilege to attend an amazing event for the Mary Peters Trust. What an experience that was! I was able to meet Mary Peters herself, who is a famous Olympian, Daley Thompson who is another iconic Olympian and the Chancellor of Ulster University, James Nesbitt. The event first started out with us playing some games the equipment we brought. Ray and I played some golf with our SNAG equipment, while the other guys played a bit of basketball. It was fun watching some people play with the things we brought. After all the games were done being played, a few of us had the opportunity to extend our evening by heading upstairs to the dinner reception. The food was outstanding, and the entertainment was even better! We had a group of singers come onto the stage to perform for us, and they were amazing. Then a group from Dublin called Slide Step came in and performed a modern-day form of Irish Tap dancing. That was the coolest part of the event! I had never seen that before and I was mesmerized! To say the least, it was one amazing day!
