Cambridge Buddies Day One

Okay just putting this out there, my buddy's name shouldn't be revealed but I'm calling him Notch because he loves Minecraft and Notch is the the guy who created Minecraft :)

So today during lunch, our class went to my home, Cambridge Elementary, to become friends and buddies with the younger kids there. They're about Grades 2-3 I think? My buddy, we'll call him Notch, he's in Grade Two, and he has ADHD? (Is it Neuf? I don't really remember) Nonetheless he's a really energetic kid and he likes to do things his own way but he's not too hard to handle, not as hard as I thought anyways. Me and Notch have a few common interests like sports, uplifting music, and video games. He really likes Minecraft, as I mentioned before, and he talks about it a lot, which leads to drifting off topic but it's all cool because to be honest, Minecraft is pretty cool, I play that a lot with my brothers. He likes playing soccer, like my little brother Carlos, so we talked about that for a while, but I'm not really into soccer as much as he is, but he tells me a lot about it. He also enjoys spending time with his friend, Joel's buddy, we'll call him Jeb (Notch's friend who helped create Minecraft) and he likes monster trucks, especially Grave Digger #TeamGraveDigger. Notch was a fun kid to work with actually, despite the cautions we were given and how he doesn't like taking instructions well, he seemed really cooperating with me for 85% of the time which is really good. Spending time with him, it really was fun, it was great to be able to put a smile on his face and he really made me feel like a kid again, talking to him about a bunch of these things I talked about when I was about his age, sports, the coolest songs out there (#BlackEyedPeasFanRightHere), and video games. I can't wait to see him again. He's a fun kid to be around. His smile makes me smile.
