Athletes
"As athletes were used to reacting quickly. Here it come stop, come stop, there's a lot of down town, That's the toughest part of the day," says coach Sharp, and also the poster we have hanging in our locker room.
I have a strong passion for sports. I can say sports is where I meet most of my close friends, which are the people I get close to and hang around the most. I have played volleyball, basketball We are a type of group that earn respect for our achievement and we are not in any control but other than sports.
Therefore I can say my clique would have to be the athletic clique. We always stick together inside and outside of school. Also I go to Clovis High School where sports are very popular. The sports I have done at Clovis High School were track and field, cross country, and drill team. Everyone in athletics is very competitive. Living in a small town sports are become one of the priorities. A team is a just like a family, we are there for each other no matter what even if its outside of school and everyone begins to learn more about each other as the years go on. Many things have changed about me as a student and as a girl outside of school by being in this clique. I have learned so much from coaches, team mates and even from myself.
I believe that I fit in the sports clique because I'm a very hard worker. I put in my time and my effort just like the rest of the athletes. Also being an athlete you have to have good sportsmanship, which I have always had since day one. Everyone is not only good just at sports, we also know how to keep our grades up. In order to play a sport you need to keep up with your grades and academics always come first. I feel I fit in with this clique also because I get along with everyone for the most part and I'm a very caring person I always give my team mate courage and support. Everyone in the sports clique gets along with the rest of the cliques and I like to get along with everyone. I'm not the type to have a feud between anyone. It is fun to be around people who you can be yourself around and who support you through anything. I have met a lot of great, intelligent and supports friends in athletics with is one of the most important things in a clique.
