sports!

I couldn’t finish this story about school without mentioning sports. I love soccer partly because I can play it well ( I played for the school team in middle school and my class team at MHSK) and also because almost everybody in Kenya just loves soccer. At MHSK, we had games like basketball, volleyball, handball, soccer, swimming and yeah, that’s just about it! However, the further you go with your education the less your need for sports is perceived to be. Therefore, since I was a junior we had a 40-minute-long sports class once a week. This wasn’t so bad for the freshmen and sophomores because they could play some more during their free time from 4-6 PM after school. Juniors and seniors for the most part would just sleep for that one hour because of the tiring days we had. 
​
I don’t play much at Bearden currently because it’s not yet boys’ soccer season yet. Luckily I got a bike from one of our friends and it makes sure I have something to do every day after school, apart from justifying why I can eat pizza every day for lunch at school! J We also have a really nice soccer coach at Bearden who I am really looking forward to working with next spring.
 
That basically sums up the major change that I have had coming here. It is less stressful and I still feel tired after a day at school because they are also mentally challenging which is a good thing. I am eager to see what other changes I may have to experience during my stay here but still, I thank God that it he made it possible for me to study here.
