I get coworkers giving me props all the time...but yesterday was the best one yet. I work at the state Deaf school. A high school boy who was hit by some real personal tragedy this year (brother committed suicide) has been walking around with his head bowed and really not communicating much. Well, yesterday he stopped me when no one was looking to say, "Noticed you've lost a lot weight, you look really great."
I said, "Wow, thanks. I've been working hard."
He said, "Great job" and "keep it up!” I got a huge smile from him too.
You know most kids are pretty self absorbed. I’ve had one chubby girl ask me what I was doing. I’ve had one sweetheart girl give me a huge hug and wow. I’ve had two gay boys, essentially say, “look at you!” But this boy has more reason than most not to be bothered with adults like me...so it just took me by surprise. His encouragement was so meaningful too.
I’m really awestruck at how much people are cheering me on.

Soccer is very popular game among the students of high schools. Boys preparatory schools also give sport education to the students. Soccer team of these schools participate in so many inter school competitions.
