~:[CH11 - Day 50]:~ Student Athletes
It was an early morning as I headed to school and we setup for the Security Council Conference. It's been a little hectic with all these events falling in the same time frame and this schedule has been more testing than any others I have had before. As we moved through the day and we addressed the Situation in Ethiopia, I got to enjoy the students engaged in the topic and seemingly enjoying the experience. The staff had great energy and also did a great job. We had a few adjustments we had to make on the fly, but I let the students decide and they did a good job adjust to what they needed to do. Of course, as this year has gone, another event fell on the same day as the girls were playing the #1 seed Canyon/CC in basketball. The entire game, it was a tight game and as I announced, I had to try to keep my emotions in check. We didn't knock down too many shots from the outside, however, in the end, the team pulled out an amazing 45-42 victory to move on to the semifinals. It's fun to work with these students and I am amazed that they are able to do so many things and at a high level at that. As while the amount of work can be intimidating, I feel that when you trust that these students can reach those higher expectations, they often times exceed you had envisioned. Today, both groups were able to do that and I definitely finished off the day overjoyed. Congratulations!!
