Unexpected Curling Lessons in St. John’s: Oklahoma Students’ Adventure
A Change in Course
It started as your typical school trip, but for a group of middle school students from Tulsa, Oklahoma, it turned into much more. They were headed for Dublin with plans to take in the city’s rich history and culture. However, over the Atlantic, their plans unraveled due to unforeseen travel delays, and the students found themselves stranded in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, a province in Canada. This detour turned into an adventure, leading them to a golden opportunity – a crash course in curling with Olympic gold medallist, Jamie Korab.
From Unplanned Diversion to Unique Learning Opportunity
The students could have easily been disheartened by the delays and the unexpected turn of events. Instead, they embraced the spirit of the unexpected and seized the opportunity to learn curling, a sport that may appear unusual to some. They stepped onto the ice with none other than Jamie Korab, an Olympic Gold Medallist.
Is it not improvisation and adaptation, the very core of construction and real estate development, that led these students from an unplanned pit-stop to a memorable, enlightening experience? An unscheduled stop turned into an invaluable learning experience, reminding us to make the most of unforeseen circumstances, not unlike the challenges faced in construction projects.
