Gooooooollllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I'm never going to feel what it's like to play in a World Cup, but on the last day of school before our spring break, I'm pretty sure I came close to knowing the feeling. And it was pretty awesome!

We had our equivalent of a field day on the last two days of school. On Thursday, the teachers had a football game and the entire primary school came to watch. Thankfully, I wore my tennis shoes to work that day. We divided up into two teams - red and yellow. It was absolutely hilarious! But guess who scored the first goal?! Yep, yours truly! I don't even remember how it happened. I received the ball close to the goal, dribbled a few steps, and took a shot. Next thing I knew, it was in the net and that was it.

My co-workers and I took off running towards midfield, celebrating. A few seconds later, hundreds of kids swarmed me. The sixth grade boys were the first ones to reach me, and then the younger ones. I have to admit, it was pretty amazing.

Here's the picture one of my students took - you can see the boys rushing up (but you can't see me!) and all of the younger kids with their hands up in the air! Oh, my team won, 3-2 :)

Five seconds later, I was completely surrounded!
