Voting day and teachers' sports



On Thursday Joon tells me we have to break from class for a few minutes to go vote for chairman. I was really shocked that I was expected to vote for class chairman. How would I know who to vote for. I started getting nervous. We wrap up class and all the kids head to the gym and I'm thinking I have to ask questions of the candidates and select a chairman, that's going to be heartbreaking for some kid. When we get to the gym I'm relieved to see that there is no debate taking place, just polling by the students. It was sweet they were so serious about it.
Later that day, back to the gym for teachers' sports day. We played volleyball/ soccer tennis (a mix where head,hands, and feet can be used with the rules of volleyball). I was psyched to play and I'm terrible but was asked to play every round because I was so enthusiastic. The vice principal was taking shots that made her do knee slides and she's close to 60! The ref. in the photo (white shirt) is Joon -one of my co-teachers. My team lost. I'm sure I disappointed my vice principal, but we ate grapes and chicken afterward, so all's well.
