Easley 8, Mon

This is my last time here at Easley. I felt some relief for completing my requirement, but I also felt sad. I kept wondering myself if there will be enough people to help the kids. This time, I brought 1 pack of gum to share with the kids because they have asked me for gum every time I came in. I got there at 3:30 and surprisingly, all the kids were done with their homework and were playing in the gym or outside in the playground. I spent the whole hour and half playing with kids outside and inside. There are less kids today at Easley for some reason. I spent my first 30 minutes watching a group of girl dancing. They told me they have to perform this dance for a project at school and are really excited about it. For shortly, they became so tired and wanted to play something else. I ended up playing individually with each of them until they left. There is one 5 years old girl wanted to play marbles, and she was out of rule. The funny part is we still have fun playing without knowing the rules. By playing this, I also taught her how to count the marbles so she can practice her counting to 100. And the rest of the time, I and three other kids played "skip-bo". This game is similar to Uno, but the rule is a little different and the kids here made it even more different. The kids were distracted with other activities  and spent half of the time arguing the "right" rule. After all, we played happily for the last 20 minutes. And it's time to leave. I felt so sad for a moment. I gave out all my  gum. It's so joyful to see excitement and happiness on these kids' faces. I knew I have done something good...
