I had and I am still having good times just like now me and the boys play hind and go seek every Friday and we do have other clubs. Our culture is all the same really because we all are from Mexican descendants. I am okay with that because we all have something to relate to. I am sorry if I offend you here but I don't know how else to put it because I am not racist, it is just a color, but we do have black people. But they're really fun and everyone it okay really, like since we are a small high school, it pretty awesome to hang out with. The only thing I don't like is that we personally in our school can't play basketball, but I mean I still do on my own time.
