| It's that season again, brown dried up leaves blowing across the streets making that crinkly sound. Things like this bring me back to the first day I've ever been to a TCC event.
As I sat nervously on the street sidewalk waiting for Mike Whang to pick me up in his old white stick shift integra, I wondered what I was getting myself into. I've never been to a church. I've never been around a community of christians. Am I overly dressed with my faded blue dress shirt and not so beige kakhi pants? What the heck did I get myself into? Lights approach with the sound of a tires slowing, crunching the dry leaves on the floor. I got in and my night began.
It was the Friday night after Thanksgiving of 2003. When Mike and I arrived at our destination, we were greeted a big group of smiling faces gathered around a portable grill in front of a pink building with two doors, now known as the tcc dining hall. This was not the norm for me. Why were these people so happy? Why were they so eager to know me? We went in and settled down at our tables. The first thing that caught my attention. This big marshmellow person who seemed to be half white half asian walks into the room with a big smile and comes directly to me. He greets me with a "Bro! What's your name?" I stood there confused. Who's this half and half man trying to talk all black!? and who are these asian girls with these thick Australian accents?! First time I've met any asians with different accents other than the typical fob...
