Hi everyone!
Sorry that I haven't written more or uploaded photos! The internet doesn't really work at Hoa An research center--so I can only blog via my blackberry.
Yesterday we spent the day working with the other Vietnamese coaches to get our lesson plans together for our sport and academic classes. I am teaching English and Tennis!! Then we also create lesson plans for our teams that are focused on leadership/higher education. My individual team is the red team, which I co-coach with Katie Magee (swimmer from Duke) and Giao (Zow) and Truing (Twing).
After working on all of our lesson plans we went to the school and met the kids!! The school is a 5 minute bus ride away. Meeting the kids was sooo special. They are ADORABLE. They never stop smiling and they are so eager to learn their sports and academics. I absolutely loved meeting them!!
Last night the other camp session going on came back from their weekend trip. So now their are 8 other American college coaches here which is fun. (Casey Ridge is here!) They will only be here for one more week though.
This morning I woke up at 5 am and couldn't fall back asleep. (And kelly was non stop bbm-ing me :) haha) so I went for a run on a trail, but its more like the jungle haha. Then we spent the morning teaching the classes and sports! It went muchhhhhhh better than I expected and I had so much fun. Right now we are resting and in a few minutes we will head back to camp for the afternoon session! I'll try to write more details later!!
Xoxo American Barbie
