CP#6 Rick Shemanski

I met with Jin late on Wednesday night at Starbucks on Tennessee Street.  This was our second meeting so it was less awkward.  I told Jin about my exams this week, and he expressed sympathy for my busy schedule. Jin recently returned from the beach. He said that he likes to go and listen to the waves crash on the beach. The sound is really relaxing for him, and it allows him to clear his head.

I asked him if he had made any progress on his decision to attend TCC. Jin said that he was still thinking about it but is still unsure.  I asked Jin if he saw the news about the NBA banning Donald Sterling, the owner of the LA Clippers, for life. He said that he saw it, but he did not completely understand why.  I told him about the racist comments Donald Sterling made concerning his girlfriend taking pictures with African Americans. I informed him that because of these remarks, the NBA is forcing Sterling to sell his team. I asked Jin what he thought about it. He said that he thinks what Sterling said was wrong, but he thinks that a lifetime ban is too harsh. I agreed, and told him I think this ruling violates Sterling first amendment right.

I told Jin that I am graduating soon, and that my tutoring partners are all away from Tallahassee. I asked Jin if he would be interested in a tutoring session to review any questions he might have. He said that he would like to meet up, and we made an appointment to have a tutoring session.
