School Spirit

[WarxePB]

Creepy that you bring this up, as my school's trying the school spirit thing too. Just yesterday, we started filming a 20-minute documentary about how great our school is (which we'll eventually submit to CBC), and tomorrow, everyone is supposed to wear school colors (I doubt 10% of them will remember).

It's like that, though. All the S3 and S4 girls (and a few of the guys) have the spirit, but everyone else couldn't give a damn. I'm in the latter group - I don't plan on going back to the school when this year is done, so why should I be proud of it?

I have a little school spirit. Rather, I have school 'pride'. I hate my school, but I always root for our sports teams and its fun to make our school look better than all the other schools aroung. I'm starting on the varsity football team, so far we're doing pretty good (4-1, 3-0 in conferance), so that helps.

My school itself is just stupid. We had a bomb threat a week or two ago, a bunch of people got suspended from school for a week or so for wearing shirts that said "hortoville is the bomb". I got a saturday school for running in the halls, after school was out. The second day of school I got in trouble for playing cards, in our commons, during lunch. Usually we have a 'free day' for homecoming where we just play games all day or do whatever we want. This year, we have a half a day of school and then we just have a pep asembly. If we're late to class once, we get a detention, sometimes if we get to class on time but the teacher has something up their ***, they say we were late and give us a detention even though we were in the room well before the bell rang.

They try to prepare us for the 'real world', but taking away our freedom, not letting us have a say in anything, and treating us like crap does just the opposite...

Meh, it won't be long and I'll be done with it.

I lost my school-spirit, so long ago................

I don't even care what happens to my classmates, teachers, or the school itself.

Most school spirit comes in college, if you decide to go to college. It's mostly because it's the place where you get your degree and stuff. Plus, it's so much better than high school spirit. High school is pretty much stuck up bullshit.

We had a pep rally for our football team yesterday. It was great we had calss relay races and such. Quite fun. I lost my voice though, haha, it started to come back last night.

In my school there aren't any activities...
I'm bored and tired of it, the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that if i study, this will be over!

My city is the birth place of Volleyball, which is kinda cool. The volleyballs games can be pretty fun to watch. The last one I went to was intense as hell. Lost my voice, but we lost 10-15 in the 5th game. (best out of 5 for the varsity). THat was disappointing, toher than that, our record is perfection. The JV Team is still undefeated too.

Our football team sucks *** though. Varsity play4ers tell me all the time that the Freshmen are better. The Varsity team hasn't one any games this year so far. Too late for hope. lol

So yeah, I guess I've got school spirit. It kind of annoys me when people from out of town come in and are all white and preppy and are like, "Holyoke is full of puerto ricans and blacks, we got this." It's always great to show them up at that point.

So is my school the only school with a good football team here? Then again, we have ME on our team, so of course we're good

Anyway, no one likes our school. But, we like eachother. Its not really pride for our school, but more like pride for our town itself. Or something like that...

Shool Spirit? Nah. My school may be better than the others at here, but it is still only a school.

And a school where the students can camly tell the professor to, and I quote, "Shut the **** up." is not a school that deserves spirit.

My schools football team beat every other school in our area.

I actually love my school. The teachers are are cool, especially the woodworking/automotive teacher. He chooses one kid and picks on him/her for the whole year. My English teacher was amazing. Everyone thought he was the biggest nerd teacher until I brought my guitar in. He was friggin awesome! Everyone has his respect now.
