Coaching is also immediately gratifying, and its results are endless AND tangible. I started tryouts for ultimate frisbee yesterday morning at 7am - 8am, just before class started. One of my former students came back to help organize tryouts and more are on their way as they finish off their exams.
Dancing - I enjoy in itself. I danced yesterday, sacrificing 20 minutes of period 2,3, and 4 to raise awareness and money vs breast cancer. This is the 6th year in a row I've done it. Although the stage was closed, it was better we performed on the floor as we were closer to the crowd. I was able to feed off the crowd a lot more. Even my mistakes, I was able to laugh them off this year as opposed to years past.
We have been practicing this dance for 4 weeks now and as always, it was worth it in the dancing itself, but also to help Trudeau's STRUT club promote awareness and raise money against breast cancer.
The best thing about this dance was that it was organized, choreographed by a couple of students. It's a small portion of what happened this whole week as they've been selling popcorn, cookies, and raising awareness throughout this Pink Week. Anyways, if you'd like to see the fruits of our students' work, here it is:
