We Have A Lot Of Support, When It Comes Down To Extracurricular Activities. I Have The Most Fun Playing Volleyball Because It's Funny How We Will Swing Our Arms, And Miss, Or When Some Of Us Gurls, Ends Up Falling On The Floor, Trying To Move To The Ball. The Administrators Don't Too Much Support Us In Everything We Do, I Guess They Be Too Busy.
