Alive and Kicking Response
I found this story touching and really interesting. This school bus driver who was transporting war refugees came up with the idea for a soccer team and was very passionate and driven in her decision. She had the three boys that were on her bus search far and wide for other team members. They ended up with 23 at the practice the next day who were not ready to be a team in any way. They did not have cleats or uniforms on and didn't seem very prepared. She discovered that they were from Afghanistan and Sudan and she had a blast with these boys. No one believed she could coach these boys because she was female but she was the best on her teams growing up and she knew she could do it and she pushed past the negativity which i admire greatly. She cared for the boys. An example of this was when the boys were supposed to have practice but were hiding behind a dumpster because of a fight. She went to the one teammates house and made sure he was ok and took him to the hospital. She seemed very nurturing throughout this story. She also proved this in the fire as well. She met tracy one day when her funds seemed to be gone for her team and tracy answered all her prayers.
