Second Journal

I have attended my service learning for the past four Mondays in row, and each time there is a new experience. What has really surprised me is the way the children respond to me being there. From the moment I meet with the kids there are numerous high fives. They have also made a game of trying to tell me a joke that I have not already heard. Most of the jokes I know, but usually play along anyways.
Interacting with the kids for after school gym and fitness is different compare to socializing with them in the game room. While there in the gym, they are very active. Each time we get together, I ask them what we are going to play today. The usual response is SOCCER! Most of my time spent with them involves playing the games and sports that they want to do. The way I interact with them is through playing the sports, and challenging their skills. I like the service learning that I am doing especially the hands on part. I have really enjoyed the first half of my service learning, and I am looking forward to the next half.
