Little Voice

I was sitting around thinking about something to share with my class, on my blog. Suddenly, an idea dawn on me, why not let your classmates know how you felt after the venture activity. Well, little voice, you are right, that is exactly what I will do.

I did not know what to expect from the venture activity, scheduled by our English professor. All right, maybe a little. The name somehow give me a little hint, it suggested some sort of adventure or collaborative effort/exercise, perhaps.  

The morning was awesome. Temperatures in the upper fifties, could not ask for a better spring morning. I mean a superb weather for a 7v7 mini soccer warm-up.

When I arrived on campus, I headed straight in the direction of our regular classroom. But half way there, I saw a group of my classmates, standing in sort of semi-circle, while a student, whose back was turned, speaking and displaying some gestures, like plane or a bird or something like that. I was about few yards away and I could not figure out who was the person. When I got there, I saw it was John. (THANK YOU John). You see, John is in the US Army and have served several tours overseas. Here he was retelling some of his fun memories on board an aircraft; everyone seemed to take keen interest to what John was saying. I was too, when I got closer to the group. For someone like John, this venture activity was going to be a breeze, I assumed, because he has been a part of the Ultimate Team, the U.S Army. My assumptions were right on the point. As the morning went by, the other classmates trickled to the designated spot, one by one. Now come our professor, whom I must say, had equally, as much fun as we did. At first, some students seemed a little shy or maybe reserved. Then the exercises started, progressed and ended. Due to time constrains I will not elaborate on the games in this post. However, it is worth mentioning, from my perspective, that the participants of this venture activity are an awesome bunch, with different, but unique personalities and characteristics, and if put to use properly; will serve humankind a great deal.

So, if one asked me how I feel about my English class now…?  I feel reassured of success in this class.

Thank you little voice...
