Back for my final month

Back to school back to school
Back to teaching and coaching. How do you forget so much over 2 weeks? It's like I had to re go over the whole chapter in 2 days. That's what I did and then tested them on Friday. They did well and it kicked them in gear to study. Training was not the best. April is the hottest month. With it always being in the hundreds in the afternoon and never going below 90 it makes training difficult. They are now going into there futsal season where they play it on cement. No joke a cone was melting to the cement. Yeah um it's hot

At the orphanage on Monday we went to coach and the girls were not aware that we were starting so we told them and then returned on wednesday. ( you gotta love Cambodia communication) practice went great. So I then told them they did well and let them scrimmage at the end. Well practice can only be so good for so long at the orphanage, once they started playing one of the good girls was mad bc she thought the teams were unfair. She then decided to sit down in the middle of the field errrrrrrrrrrr!! It had almost gone so well. I tried to talk to her saying she will never get better by sitting on the ground and bla bla and she didn't budge but she did go and sit off the field. I tried again to talk after she was off the field, but she didn't even look at me. Good news though ha - the girls are starting to learn, bc when they do something wrong or bad - they quickly look up at me to see if I saw them. Progress little progress but progress

  2. Oh Miss Jessica---final month sounds so good to us but I'm sure the girls will miss you terribly! Love all the pics you posted and can't wait to see all your other pics. On your 7 month journey you have seen so many things, met so many people, experienced so many things, mentally and physically and emotionally! You have done what many people only dream of doing. I'm so happy you were able to follow your dream! You have left your mark and when you leave the girls WILL remember you forever! Not many people can say that and I am so very proud of you and what you have done! Mighty Girls Forever!
    Remember to listen to your inner "Chelsey"!!
    Have fun--safe travels--smart choices!
    Love & prayers!
