Journal Reflection #3

Since my last post I have had some very good experiences at Escuela Vieau. I volunteer on Fridays, so I'm lucky-I get the fun day. A couple Fridays ago, I got to help referee flag football. I am a huge football fan; I love everything that has anything to do with football. Anyways, the kids were great! Both teams tried very hard but I didn't notice anyone being a poor sport or mean; they were all just having a good time. Some of the other kids were coloring with chalk, playing baseball, playing with a huge flag or playing on the jungle gym. I'm not sure what the game is called with the big flag but it's huge and you have to all stand around holding the edge and a ball is in the middle that you have to try to keep on top. I remember playing it when I was a kid.

Last Friday, I was helping to referree indoor soccer. This was a little crazier than the football. It was also really tough for the kids though, it was way too small to try to play soccer inside the gym. One good kick and the ball is out of bounds. I can not tell you how many times the ball went out of bounds. Still, the kids had fun playing and were real into it. The first team to five would win. The score was three to zero and one point but the other team came back to tie it up at three to three. The score then was four to four and unfortuneately the game had to end in a tie.
