~:[CH11 - Day 277]:~ Stranger Things
I don't need to watch the show to see stranger things, I just have to show up to my practice. Just kidding. However today, the team was the youth being the youth. I've said before that the youth sometimes overload themselves with so many responsibilities or shut themselves out using the digital world and lose that ability to just enjoy their youth. It's moments like these that I yell at them to make sure that they're stretching, but inside, also am smiling because I enjoy the fact that they appreciate each other's company. After we wrapped up practice, a group was just sitting around chatting and it was nice to see them just spending together, not stressing about schoolwork, but rather just kicking back. Some would see this as a waste of time, while I see it as an opportunity to build social bonds and learn how to connect with one another. Yes, they will need to learn how to be responsible and get work done, but they also should have the opportunity to just hang out. Sometimes that means I have to witness some of their strange antics, but I don't mind it at all because that's just part of growing up, I should know.
