What I like most about high school sports: I really like how it’s very team-oriented and you get to know all the girls on team relay well. It’s more of a team sport (than club).
What I like least about high school sports: There are definitely parts to get frustrated about — a lot of inner competition between girls, a lot of gossips . . . it’s just different.
