Warning: Photo Heavy Blog Post
In my 7 Facts Blog Awards Post, I mentioned that I work as a Brand Ambassador to support my shopping habit. This last event that I got picked up to work for was a lot of fun! I worked for Sprite at their NBA Amateur Slam Dunk Contest held at the Houston International Festival. They are attending 8 cities around the U.S., and Houston was one of them. I met NBA Legend Darryl Dawkins. He's a retired NBA player form the Philadelphia 6ers, and I also met Luis Scola who currently plays for the Houston Rockets. I was also surrounded by very fit, attractive, young men aiming to win the title of Houston's Best Dunker! And last but not least I got to keep my whole uniform, including the shoes! haha For $17/hr it doesn't get any better than that!
