Hi class my name is Chris Evans. I'm currently a student at both Ohio State and Columbus State, and I'm planning on being a business major. Something unique about me is that I was able to go to Africa this summer on a missions trip. I really learned a lot while I was there, and I can't believe some the conditions that people lived with there. I stayed in an orphanage where I helped out with projects and got to build relationships with the kids there. It was amazing to be a part of their lives even if it was only for a short amount of time. While I was in Africa I was also fortunate enough to get to play with lions. I started out playing with little cubs that were only a few weeks old which were really harmless, but I ended up playing with some of the older lions who were 4-5 months old, and I left that encounter with many bruises and even a bite that bled!
My favorite buckeye story is when I went to the Ohio State vs. Michigan game at the horseshoe. It was an experience I will never forget. To be in the stadium with 110,000 all screaming and cheering for the Buckeyes was insane. I remember all of comments made and the trash talk that was involved. It really was a pivotal moment in my life, and it made me realize that this is where I wanted to go to school and ultimately begin my career here.
Chris, great post and your stories of lions in Africa and the impact of your mission trip are engaging and I think life-changing! Nice to have you in class and welcome to the blog.
