There&#8217;s teamwork because you have to be on the same page, and there\u2019s strategy, which helped them learn to think while contributing to their growing experiences in school as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The children, he said, were somewhat familiar with rugby, which provided some parallels along with some challenges because of slightly different rules. They had to learn, for example, that football has four downs and varied guidance as to how teams can sub players in and out of a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, the classes embraced the experience, making Stapleton\u2019s job feel less like a Hail Mary and more like an inevitable run to pay dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI could just see their joy, especially when I told them we would leave all the materials there so they could play on their own,\u201d Stapleton said. \u201cThey don\u2019t have a lot of what we do, but they were so much happier than we usually are. The whole experience helped me see that attitude is what makes you happy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stapleton added that he and his brother also taught chess to the students. In fact, some of the children picked it up so quickly that they nearly beat the duo by the time they left. The whole experience leaves Stapleton with no doubt that he would like to return to Kenya one day, in addition to studying abroad in Madrid or Costa Rica before he leaves K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis wasn\u2019t so much about my <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/k-plan\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/k-plan\/\">K-Plan<\/a><\/em>, but it definitely fit with the K experience,\u201d Stapleton said. \u201cIt was about putting myself out there to try new things. It also <a>fit for<\/a> me as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/academic\/programs\/economics-and-business\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/academic\/programs\/economics-and-business\/\">business major<\/a>. I sat in on one of their business classes and tried to contribute some things about my classes. I want to go back again, and in my professional life, I think this experience will help me interact more with diverse people and reach others different from me. I&#8217;m glad I went because I didn&#8217;t expect it to be anything like it was. Going there and seeing the joy on the kids\u2019 faces while teaching them something new and experiencing a new place was an awesome opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
