My day started at 7:30am. I woke up, got ready and my mother drove me to school. It is usual in America, that everyone uses the car- There are no public trams or buses! Wellesley High School is a really big school with 1600 students (almost three times bigger than my school in Switzerland), as it is the only public High School in town. It has about 500 rooms, including a really big auditorium and a huge cafeteria. On the outside are tennis, football and golf courts. As you may know; everyone in America is part of a school team. It is a great way for meeting new people and it really connects all the students, as every team represents Wellesley High School, also know as The Raiders.

At about 1pm I had lunch with some girls from my Cross Country team, which was really nice, as they introduced me to some other friends. I had school until 2:30pm and then I went to Cross Country practice. There are three different seasons (fall, winter and spring) with different sport opportunities. Fall offers football, soccer and volleyball, winter offers basketball, ski and track and spring offers lacrosse, tennis and swim. Now I am doing Cross Country, as I really love running. Usually I run by myself, but I really liked the idea of running in a group, because it helps you staying motivated and it is a great way for meeting new people.
