Third Journal

As I continue to do my service learning hours, I have been noticing there have been fewer kids staying after school. It seems that as the weather gets nicer, more kids go home after school instead of participating in the activities. The smaller groups allow Miss Janet to plan different sports for the kids to play. In the last two weeks, we have played dodge ball and basketball for the first time. It is interesting to see how their lack of interest in these sports affects their willingness to participate. Most of them play for ten minutes then they get bored and start begging to play soccer instead.

I have recently learned that Escuela Vieau offers an after school soccer program. The little I have learned about it so far is that the teams are divided into two age groups, which are coached by Armando Dominguez. Armando also coaches Lake Country United. The LCU is located in the town of Merton, which is a good forty-five minute drive from Escuela Vieau. I plan on learning more about what Armando does for the school and the LCU with a phone interview. I tried to schedule a personal interview with him, but he has a very busy schedule. I am anxious to learn more about Armando and what he does for the school and the community.
