Lesson 3: RECESS

After lunch, they have this thing called "recess" where they all go hang out in the playground. No books or teachers involved this time, which is pretty awesome. Some kids would get out street chalk and draw hopscotch on the concrete, or break out into a game of double dutch jump rope.

A lot of the boys were playing basketball at the court. I'm pretty tall compared to the average girl. Compared to the average boy on this playground, I was a giant. I kept thinking how easy it would be for me to quick steal the ball away, and fly higher than Michael Jordan ever could for the winning slam dunk. Bam! Nothing. But. Wing.

And, just like the unspoken hand-raising signal, another bell rang. They all dropped what they were doing and, catch this, went back inside. Unreal!
