Last week I mentioned how I was still accepting submissions for the question “What does Raider Pride mean to you?” Today we have a submission from Kyle Souza (08). Kyle played 4 years of football at WHS and was a member of the track and field team. Here’s what he had to say!
The first year I joined the Wellesley Raiders was during my freshman year of high school, as it was my first respective seasons of football and track and field. At first being a Raider meant nothing to me, as I had lived in Wellesley for only about a year so far. As my career in football and track and field went on through senior year of high school, however, I truly understood the impact that everyone on both teams had on me, as it was a truly amazing experience being part of something greater than I had previously understood. To me, being a Raider wasn’t just joining a sports team, it was being a member of a family that had fun and worked hard together. I had learned many life lessons through being with my track and football families, and each day of practice meant a day to enjoy what we were doing while doing our best and supporting each other as a team. When it came time for games/meets, like any team, we experienced our epic wins and our heartbreaking losses.
