First Orientation Meeting!


Last Sunday I went to our first People to People orientation meeting at the NewportYacht Club. I didn’t know so many kids from Washington were going to Austria. We all did a "get to know each other" game where we had to find people who answered questions like, "do you have any pets?", "have you traveled to a foreign country?", "what's your favorite food?". We all got into it. I was so happy to meet some of the other athletes, and now there will be some kids I’ll know when I go to Austria!

I had to leave early to get to our game at Starfire, but my mom helped by staying for the rest of the meeting so I could find out what I missed. The next meeting is in May.

Part of my preparation is to get certified as a Sports Ambassador - there are TESTS!!! I took quiz on responsibility for going to Austria and what to look forward to in Austria. I got a hundred percent on the second try. Also, I'm working on my physical training. We need to be fit and healthy to have enough energy to play soccer AND go sightseeing after training. All athletes need to stay fit and healthy to have enough energy to have FUN.
