    Since I'm a athlete at GateWay most of us like to hang out in the Student-Life Center because its right by our coaches offices. There is a big screen with a bunch of coaches for your comfort. Plus there are games you can play like Ping pong. The students and athletes like to compete in the Ping pong tournament. There are also many different clubs that you can join and they hold fundraisers and give out free food during school hours. There are many different ethnicities here so you can learn a lot for other students from different countries.
