I find this whole blogging thing a little difficult because I’m more of a numbers person than a person who is good with words. So this time I thought I could incorporate some numbers into my blog to make it a little more interesting (probably only for me..?)
This week Emily and I have been traveling to different primary schools and coaching the kids. We’ve had about 4 classes a day with roughly 25 children in each class. That’s 100 children we have coached per day for 5 days, so about 500 children for the week. That’s 500 kids who we have the ability to teach something to. 500 lives we have the ability to affect. 500 children who have the ability to affect our lives in some way, even if it’s just to inform us of some new irish lingo.
But I’m only talking about one week here. Last week we had 3 groups of victory scholars at 9 different schools in 3 days with roughly 3 classes of 30 kids a day. That’s another 810 children between all of us. In just 3 days!! Pretty cool if you ask me! Hopefully we’ve had the ability to affect the majority of those kids… And hopefully I didn’t make you all fall asleep with all these numbers :p #Mathlete
