Jeremy Schmidt's Argentina For Real
I've been doing a lot of events with my program. One thing we do is on Sundays, play football (soccer) at a park. In addition ot other students, older argentine friends of a staff member and some children come. We all are in good spirits and while the atmosphere is light hearted and fun, at the same time, it certainty is a humbling experience! I'm somewhat athletic yet The kids, probably 9 or 10 run circles around us Americans, and I got faked out more times than I can count. As I was, soccer is a way of life for kids here in Argentina. I feel like soccer is one way to bond with other argentine because while soccer is not and cheer when we score, or in my case, laugh together when I miss the ball and kick air.
