Boys and Girls Club!

        Last week Comanches Care volunteered for the Boys and Girls Club. It is an afterschool day camp for kids that live close by. So my sister and I get there to set up the soccer field (basically some cones and a ball). Then I went around and asked/encouraged the kids to come play. Before I knew it there were 40 kids that wanted to play! I was kinda worried but I figured just throw us all together and say go. That was my plan and I stuck to it.
        The high school kids from my school showed up and we spread ourselves out on the field. Then I threw the ball up into the air and yelled go!!! In the beginning of the game it was obvious that one side was dominating the other because it was the big kids versus the little kids. So the CC members joined the little kids and made it more even. I had a lot of fun I will admit. It was the first time in a LONG time that I could be a kid. By the end of the game (about an hour and a half later) I was pooped!
         After getting some feedback from our club, I have decided to volunteer for the Boys and Girls Club atleast once a month. I think some other centers have volleyball and basketball courts too. Now I'M excited :) This whole kid thing is contagious.
