Work Day

Hello Dear Great Ones,

My work day is basically teaching PE to five different classes.  So I will see over 100 little eager beavers in that time.  My main goal is to instil a love for physical activity into them so that they will move on their own when they are finished with me.  While kids in Canada tend to get fat due to inactivity and  a high fat diet,  kids in Hong Kong tend to get frail and skinny due to a low fat diet and inactivity.   They also tend to be rather wimpy when they fall or see a bug.  It seems much of my day is spent toughening kids up.  Yet all in all I really enjoy my work.  The kids' smiles, hugs, and excitement for PE and me is great encouragement and I love it.  

Have a great week.

Love adios and ping on!
