Carson Brock, Student

Another wonderful day. My mom and I started bright and early in the classroom, taking the first session of teaching.  The students here had a wonderful time making valentines and singing the worm song. ("Nobody likes me. Everybody hates me. Guess I’ll go eat worms.") It was really cool to watch 36 kids make valentines with only two pairs of scissors and four boxes of crayons to go for everyone.  Nobody argued or grabbed or got mad waiting for a turn.

After teaching, we returned to the hotel for lunch and then departed again to pick up my mom’s camera. The man at the camera shop recognized us right away and had the camera ready to go.  Along the way we stopped to shop and found some great things. I bought a really cool Kappa shirt and some American-style snacks at a two-story grocery store.

I finished up the day with a soccer game at the school fields. It was so much fun to play with kids I have never met before and be able to play without conflict. It was truly awesome. Six guys and a soccer ball on a field: the new definition of fun.
