This March my soccer team hosted a 3 hour soccer camp for children from 3rd to 5th grade at Sumner elementary. Sumner is a very poor elementary school that is considered "title 1" meaning all the children have free lunch etc. About 10 children showed up and there was about 25 of the girls and boy Grimsley soccer teams combined. We provided snacks and drinks and lead some soccer skills training and fun games like sharks and minos. I think the children had a lot of fun and I think most of the high school students enjoyed interacting with the kids. 3 hours was a long time but I know the parents of the children enjoyed a few hours free of responsibility of their child. The girls soccer team is going to try to make this event a annual thing. I exemplified the IB character trait of a leader because I was leading everyone in the games and events. I enjoyed making a positive impact on the children.
