I thought that the lecture by Aldo Magazenni was very insightful. I was at first skeptical about attending a lecture just because of the chance of awkward and uncomfortable situations. I found this lecture to be very opposite of that. He spoke about what it was like to live in different parts of the world and help the people. He has traveled and spoke about Kenya, Afghanistan, India, and Italy. I thought that those are a very wide range of cultures to visit. When I asked him which was his favorite...he said he didn't have a "favorite" but he really liked India. Listening to him speak made me feel very grateful for everything that I have and how much I take advantage of it. If I could go to more lectures like that one, I would. He was a very enthusiastic speaker, and seemed very knowledgeable in what he does, which is fitting, considering how long he has done his job.

Sounds like he was a well traveled man and that was probably really interesting to hear
