October 26th-- "The Opening Ceremonies"
         

                
                     The day before we picked the song and the two exchange students of the class (TJ from Canada and I) choreographed the dance.  Now you are probably wondering what all this is for.  Every colegio here in Quito has a school sports tournament that is spread over a months time.  Each curso (or grade) creates a team name, picks a mascot, and then presents in front of the whole school in the opening ceremonies which is this video.  Each grade has the freedom to do whatever they want in the presentation so we decided to go all out.  Our mascot was the "Pac-Man" and so our team name was "Six Pac-Man."  In my opinion, this whole sport tournament concept is awesome because of the team building that is involved.  The classes become closer and this gives them a sense of teamwork.  Just the other day, we as quinto curso girls played sexto curso (senior girls).  A lot of the girls on our team thought it was not possible to beat the seniors but things changed that day.  We ended up winning the game 2-0 with two epic goals made by our whole team effort.  All the quinto curso guys were shouting hilarious chants as we, girls, kept up our game.  Those are the moments that I will always remember. :)

"Six Pac-Man"--They go all out when it comes to team spirit :) Here are two wonderful young ladies in my class: Majo y Briggette

The team! Yes, we have matching shirts which are awesome.

The quinto curso ladies; we are getting more confident with our soccer skills after every game.

The lovely sexto curso class (seniors) who all dressed up from the movie "Grease."
