Throughout my tenure here at Texas A&M University I have often done things for others because I enjoy doing them and did not except any type of reward in return.  Example: I love to cook and last year hosted 9 of my fellow students (all from India) to celebrate a traditional Thanksgiving ... it was such a blast that it was requested to do this again this year.  So this year, instead of taking the easy way out and going to our A&M vs. UT tailgate, I again hosted students for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. 

During a conversation with David Alexander, Texas A&M alumni and mentor to a dear friend of mine, I told him about cooking dinner for several students.  He asked if I was going to the tailgate on Thanksgiving and I said I would stop by after dinner just to say "Hi" ... to my surprise David handed me a ticket to the Texas A&M vs. University of Texas game that evening ... these are very coveted tickets and the seats were fantastic ... and the game was really close ... best game I have seem here at Texas A&M.

Thank you David ... that was very generous and very much appreciated.

So where am I going with this ... the Aggie Spirit is alive and well ... this is a school about giving ... if you are a taker go to UT.
