The Greatest 3-Point Shot!

    Wow. This week has been a whirlwind. Today I subbed in a kindergarten class and it was SO much fun. I was imagining yesterday what it would be like and I kept imagining that the kids would just be running around in chaos. And honestly, it kind of was that. But I loved it so much. The kids were so much fun and they had me laughing and smiling all day. It also went by incredibly fast because I was constantly moving around and trying to prepare for the next thing we were going to do. I could definitely enjoy teaching kindergarten.
    After kindergarten, I headed to after school. Today I only had one first grader and a whole lot of tutors. Days like today, I'm just smiling to get paid for doing something fun. I played with my first grader for a while but when the tutors showed up, he of course picked out his favorite tutor and they began playing. Which left me to talk to some awesome ASU tutors (while supervising of course). Today was just really great. Sometimes you just need to talk and unwind. We talked about funny children and funny stories and it just ended on the right note.
    Then, the most amazing thing happened. You're going to think it's stupid. But seriously, I was jaw-dropping shocked and I had about 6 ASU girls watching me that were all equally amazed. So, my friend Teryn (an ASU tutor) and I were just shooting the basketball and talking when we decided to try some longer shots. I admitted to Teryn that I had never made a three point shot that wasn't in granny form.  So I stood at the three-point line, used all my force and of course shot an air ball. But then I got the bright idea to get a run and go and then stop at the line and still use all my force to hurl the ball to the net.  (I'm trying to give you a good mental picture) and guess what, it MADE IT. It was the most perfect shot, making the net do that swooshing sound. Teryn and I just looked at each other and started squealing. And all the other tutors were cheering! It was awesome. I seriously screamed "I just made a three-pointer" like an 8 year old would. It was awesome. They gave me the ball to try again and Brooke (another tutor) was like, we should seriously be taping this. But I just thought, "we missed that already" but I still felt like this moment should be on America's Funniest Home Videos or something. But then I started my running, stopped at the line, did a little grunt and hurled the ball one more time and guess what..... you're not going to believe me... but I MADE IT AGAIN. We all were shocked. I wish I could tell you that I made it a third time, I didn't. But I can't tell you how exciting it is to do something you've never done before. Even if it's something as simple as making a shot from the three-point line.
You should try something you haven't been able to do before. Maybe you'll surprise yourself!

Anyways, I have an interview tomorrow at 10 a.m. Pray for me! I'm excited. I hope I get to post exciting news in the next few days :)
