SPORTS
I thought San Agustín was almost number one in sports…, until I knew Milford H.S.
It had so wonderful sports pitches that it isn’t strange almost every student practised a sport. It had even a swimming pool. Before going to USA I could read in its website that it had an old tradition in sports and I really could verify it.
My american sister, Amanda, played volley-ball, a much more popular sport than here. She stayed at school for trainning after classes almost every day, as many other students. For that reason I couldn’t be so much time with her and I used to talk with her mother much more often.
At school they also were very fond of soccer -similar to european football-.
But the most popular sports in USA are -american- football, baseball and basketball. All spanish students we went together to Boston to a Celtics’ basketball match. I didn’t feel very encouraged but, at the end, I must recognize, it was an amazing show. My father envied me a lot; he still remembers Larry Bird (he must be now a lovely old man…).
