Guess who showed up at PennState last night? It's the revered man whom I believe has inspired and is still inspiring millions of people out there. It's none other than Aron Ralston. Does that ring a bell? Well, it's the dude who inspired the production of the movie 127 hours. Owh yeah, this is the man who amputated his hand in order to free himself from a dislodged boulder that trapped him for five days and seven hours at the Blue John Canyon. I was so glad that he could share his experience with us and as he recounted the life-changing incident that happened to him nine years ago, he mentioned about how it changed his whole perspective about himself, his life and about the things that matter to him the most. And yet, he still continues his passion for outdoor activities without any trepidation or fear. He's a true hero!
p/s: He's so cute, and funny and he's also an all-rounder. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon with a degree in mechanical engineer and French and a minor in piano! How cool is that.
