Opelika Sports Plex
Opelika Sports Plex is basically a rec center for children during the fall, spring, and summer semesters. I have learned that the Sports Plex can be of help to parents during the summer as they offer camps that act as a day-care for children who will not have parents at home during the summer months. It gives these children things to keep them busy and entertained during their summer break. I have also learned that the Sports Plex can be useful in other ways as well, since it is technically a rec center, they have softball teams as well as other different sports and they offer majorette lessons as well.
Moving here to Auburn last semester, fall 2016, I was nervous to get involved with anything right away because I felt led to focus on my schoolwork more than anything just fresh at a four year university, but when Jenny offered me to help her I immediately jumped on board with no hesitation. I was a majorette in high school for five years; I twirled my eighth-grade year with the high school and the remaining four years while in high school, so teaching little girls how to twirl was right up my alley. I have learned so much through myself during the process of teaching the girls I have closely bonded with these past two semesters. I have learned that I can be very shy and I have learned that I cannot stand in silence for the rest of my life, I eventually should get out there and make an impact on society. I have also learned that I must take charge and sometimes get a little stern to get my girls to listen and to get things accomplished in a timely manner. I am currently the new director of the majorette lessons at the Sports Plex because of the odd hours Jenny works at Auburn University. I must coordinate times and lessons with the parents, notify them when we are changing the schedule, I am also in charge of teaching proper majorette techniques, making up routines for three different classes with different advancements and then teaching the routines to the girls to perform at the end of the semester.
