While in Australia we went to an Australian rules football Stadium. We met a well-known Aussie rules football player and he tried to teach Tony and I some Aussie Rules Football. I can tell you this: we had a blast while trying to perform to our bests and it was really special; but I can tell you this as well: I don’t think Tony and I have a future on this sport, haha. Later on our coach/new friend shared with us about his happiness: he loves playing Aussie Rules Football (or "Footy") and he’s really grateful because he’s had the chance of becoming a professional player and earn a living doing what he loves the most.
Then he told us about the friendship he’s developed with his teammates and how they share a very special bond: how it’s almost like being a family. After that we had the chance to share with some crazy, creative kids from “Beyond Empathy” -an australian foundation engaged in doing very positive projects. During our time with the kids we shared jokes, some dance moves, we talked about music and skating (skateboarding) and we showed our creative sides by painting some Coke bottles. It was really cool to share with these guys such a positive energy and moments of happiness.
