What was your group in school? Were you a band kid, a football star, or a scholastic bowl die hard? Kids do a million activities, but there always seems to be one they love more than all the others that especially shapes their childhoods. For Betsy, it’s probably cross country. It’s where she’s won the most awards. Mae’s will likely be band, either marching or stationary. I don’t know why she’d ever want to stand when sitting is an option. As for me, it was running. That was the last team I ever would have given up, much to my detriment. Friends come and go, but knee damage is forever. What was your main thing? Sound off in the comments.
