    Yo Bryan. Great article on Jeremy Lin. I am pursuing my J.D at Marquette. I wanted to say I am inspired to see other Asian-Americans such as you and Jeremy pursuing careers in the sports industry. Although it is not a subject that I often think about, one cannot help but notice the lack of Asian-Americans in this industry. So congrats man and I look forward to seeing other articles form you.

    Thanks Bryan, I'll definitely be covering sports in college and hopefully it'll be as a beat writer. At this point, I'm working on basic reporting skills with high school journalism and on my style/ more opinionated writing here. I think it's great how we're both into sports, writing, and business, and I hope we can keep in touch. I'll join AAJA when I get the chance, and I added you as a connection on LinkedIn if that's alright.

    Hey Bryan, I really enjoyed your Jeremy Lin article. I'm working on one right now for my school newspaper, as I'm the sports editor there.

    I'm also an ABC (well, born in Canada, raised in Seattle) and since you're seeing my right now as an aspiring sportswriter, I too have taken the unconventional path- I think we're pretty similar in that respect. I also am looking to earn my MBA, and have already been accepted to USC and Michigan for my undergraduate school.

    I hope you can take a look at my work and let me know what you think of it, it's not often we see asian journalists here, and I feel like we have quite a lot in common.
