There is nothing like...

There is nothing like playing softball on a sunny afternoon. Now I can say: there is nothing like playing softball with my students in Belize on a sunny afternoon! I am helping coach the boy's softball team and I don't know what it is about it, but I am just loving playing with them! I am getting a taste of what my coaches must have felt like teaching us the sport all those years. I did not realize how much I knew about softball until I went out there and tried to help them. I love connecting with them outside of the classroom in this way and being able to support them and the school. It is probably the sport we are most likely to excel in (we are a bit of an "underdog" school in sports, if you will) so we are going to try our best. We still have a long way to go but it is great to get to know these kids better and help them with their fielding and batting. Our first game is in a couple of weeks so we need to teach them rules, running, tagging, stealing, catching, etc. It is always an adventure in Benque :)
