Day five

Today was a particular day. Everyone was wearing Marist stuff because they were having the football game. It was so cool to see everyone so interested in their team. We got to know what aid missions are. I am so surprised that what we do in Argentina is also done here in Chicago. Marists are everywhere. And we are all the same. Some guy said today, we are kind of little Marcellin Champagnacitos. It is shocking to think that they get to give the same help here in the northern end of the continent.
We got to know about the Student Council, and I wish we had that back in Argentina. It is so good. Students talking to each other, discussing important things that DO matter. Everybody has something to do. Everybody gets to find their place in the school and their own spot in their own schools. It really makes me feel like they are building their own high school the best they can. Students that participate there are everyone's ambassadors.
Then we had our soccer game against USA. It was so much fun... Except for the fact that I almost passed out. We had to run a lot and they had three teams waiting to get in and play with us. It was a great experience.
After that we had an asado (typical in Argentina) and game time was on. The school band was playing, cheerleaders were singing and the players were warming up. They beat the other team so bad... It was great. Everybody had something to do. If you want to, you can just join the band, cheerleaders, dress up as the mascot or just cheer from the crowd. It was excellent.
Finally we went to Anna Thomas' place and had marshmallows with cookie and chocolate.  
Weird fact about Americans: The football team gets to wear their Marist jerseys the whole day when they're having a game.
