Passion Project

I'm wondering if we can build STG ( Student Trainer Group). It's about teaching students taping and helping the school trainer.
The reason I want to do it is that last year we did not have a school trainer. Coach Pena was the only one who helped all players tape, but he could not be with us all the time. It takes 5-10 mins to tape one guy, which means to tape a whole football team is going to take a couple of hours. It takes too long to get ready.
I want to do this because I'm a football and basketball player. Once before a football game, I was trying to get an ankle taping, and I spent half hour waiting for 2 people getting tape.
If yall have any ideas or sugguestions, please comment below. Let me know, thanks.

Wrong Pronunciation :D :/

It wasn’t BalloonFest ’86, but it still went hilariously wrong. It was my freshman year of high school and also my first year in America. Everything was new to me,the language, the culture and the people. For me, the most difficult part was the language. I can't even speak English because I only learned a few English words before.After listening my story, I think you will understand why speaking is always the hardest part for international students. 
It was the first day, 5th period, World Geography Class. Mrs. Sebesta was our teacher and she asked us to introduce ourselves and think of a place that we like the most with a reason. My place was Maldives because i like "beaches". With everybody looking at me I began: "hello! My name is Yicheng Sun. Y'all can call me Joshua. It is my first year of POP and also America." I thought The introduction went pretty well and it reduced my tension. And then Mrs .Sebesta asked:" where is your favorite place and why?" I responded loud and proud: "my favorite place is Maldives because I  love bi**hes!" Everybody was laughing so hard especially Brock........I knew I pronounced the word "beaches" wrong so I was so embarrassed. It probably is the worst day of my life. 
When I think about right now, it was just a" hilariously wrong "experience. Nothing wrong with it, and at the same time at least I learned how to pronounce two new words currently.
