Motivation day...may 19th

Another positive day at the club.
I really enjoyed today because of the kids that make you feel good about yourself when you enjoy there company.
Today I went to the club with Angelica at around 1 o'clock and started with helping out around the club with getting things ready for the boys and girls to come and enjoy there afternoon. I then went for a swim when the kids got there and spent an hour and a half in the pool with the kids teaching them new tricks and skills they can do in the water. Then after that we cleaned up and went and got the field hockey sticks and went outside. It was was kind of chilly today outside, but we still decided to go out and play with the kids. So at the start of it the kids were getting in partners and passing and dribbling, then we wanted to play a big game so I split the kids up into two teams where they each pick a person for their teams. Then we played a big game where the kids did really well in getting the ball into the goals. I was really proud of them because they really picked up the sport fast. Then when it was around 6:30 we had to go inside because it was getting darker outside. When we went in I went into the gym and played jump rope with some of the kids, then went and played one on one basketball with some of the kids, and then went into the game room where I again taught kids how to play pool and ping pong. This was a great experience again teaching kids how to play something that they may not know. Then there was this big scrimmage at the end of the day where the high school boys were playing in and I watched that for a little bit. They look so motivated to get better this shows the little kids that they can grow up and be that motivated to do something that you like. I left the club at 8:30 today.
In all today was a great day to be around the kids. It showed a lot of motivation for them!
