I like all the opportunities to be involved in things that interest me. Sports, clubs, academic groups. Our school has a lot of things that make it enjoyable to go through high school.

There's such a sports focus not only in the school but the community. We're really good at many fine arts events such as the art fair, speech, debate, band, and choir, yet everybody would rather show up to a football game despite winning only once during a seasin then support their peers in the play or at a concert.
