A Different Enviroment

Today I have to wake up at 0615 to get ready to coach some swimmers at the Australian International School. Well, Henry said that it will be quite a big group so I assume the number of swimmers will be around 12 to 15 swimmers. As soon as I got there, I was surprised and out of my expectaions; I have to coach around 23 swimmers. That's alot! I was shocked and nevertheless majority of them are Caucasians, and I've not being strict with them when they were not being serious towards the programs that I've given them. Furthermore this has made me feel miserable as though I was not doing my job as a coach. Maybe it's the enviroment or most probably I'm just not used to shouting or scolding at people - especially towards Caucasians. However, I did gain a good experience out of it. Hence, one day I'll get used to it, and will be more stern.
