This morning I went to school with Madison, my host sister. I still have to get used to the fact that at 16 she can drive a Jeep, but that's okay. The first hour we had law and business, my favorite subject, where we talked about shoplifting and how to avoid it. At 9 o'clock the whole group and I went to New England College. First we saw the main room where there was a huge buffet! (Much appreciated). After having my second breakfast, we met with the students from the education department and split into two groups.
The first proposed activity was sport and the second was creating books. I chose the first. Initially they showed us the covered field where they play, reminding us that "Every day is a game day!”. We started by playing dodgeball, I had a lot of fun! The second game was Kickball, which I actually didn't understand the rules of yet. It's kind of like baseball but with a soccer ball, and it was fun even though the teams weren't balanced at all (the other team had all the strongest players), so after losing we went into the woods for the next activity.
It was all about mutual trust and teamwork. We played several games where, to win, we had to join forces and collaborate. I honestly think that it not only helped teamwork but also to work on ourselves and on patience, the ability to listen to other people's ideas and knowing how to express ourselves without dominating anyone. After all this we finally went to have lunch!! The canteen was huge and there was a lot of different food: there was even ice cream!!!
With full bellies we went back to school.
After school I went shopping with my host sister and then we went to dinner at "Smoke House", delicious! Like every day, today too I had a lot of fun and I'm grateful for the experience I'm having! I hope it never ends.
