Today a kid in my class asked when I was leaving, I told him that we were leaving on Friday and he was upset and disappointed. This was the first full day of the week with nothing special happening, just a regular day, but it was special for me. Today it felt like the kids were really warming up to me for the first time, and it was an exciting moment for me. A girl yesterday wanted me nowhere near her and didn't want my help at all but today she was messing with me all day and wanted me to help her with her assignments and this felt like a major change from the first day. Today I really tried to push myself and be around more of the kids in class and I talked and helped everyone in class with at least one assignment and I finally learned all my student's names. Now because of these moments I'm excited to go to school and help my class tomorrow but it makes me sad that the end of this trip is close, and it just feels like we just got here. Even with that in mind I'll still make the best with the time I have. -Marco
Today was a great day. Marco, Gavin, and I woke up early this morning to go for a run under the Montana stars. We then got back and shortly left to go to the school. We went through the morning assembly and then went to classes for a very brief period of time. The Little Flower Academy had a field trip to East Glacier Park to go cross-country skiing. I went along with Gavin and Evan to join them in the snow. On the way there we took in the scenic view of the mountains. We then got there and learned that due to the wind we were not going to be able to get the skis, so we went snow shoeing instead. We went for a hike through the woods before arriving at a frozen lake with a great view of the mountains in the distance. With the thick layer of ice on the lake we all went on to take in the view. The winds were crazy but that didn’t stop us. We then went back to the school and watched talent show rehearsals for tomorrow. -Joey
