School Spirit.

A lot of people will relate school spirit to strictly pep assemblies. Although pep assemblies are a big part of school spirit, there is certainly other things that make up that defintion. I went on a hunt to figure out what a legit defintion for school spirit is. This is what i found

school spirit [skool spir-it] - adjective: an undefinable feeling of pride, loyalty, sportsmanship, rivalry and passion for one's place of learning.

I think that fits perfect.

A lot of students in our grade do not participate in simple acts of pride due to embarrasment. They feel like they are going to look "stupid" or "out there". they do not remember, thats the point! School spirit isnt about looking cool, or fitting in, its about all the things listed in the above defintition. If we could get everyone to find there school spirit, and display it in front of their peers then we would have a much more enjoyable high school experience together, and make much more memories.

Yesterday, at skit practive, everyone just kind of seemed to not care anymore and walk out of the gym ten minutes before we were supposed to be dismissed. Jenny and I went back to see if everyone else was going back; they didnt. There was a lady in there (not sure of her name) who had the people who were in there circle around her so she could talk to us. She said that there is obvious attitude and seperation in our grade; we dont make everyone feel welcome. Well maybe if we had some school spirit, it would bring those sides together and elimainate some of the attitude. Whatb do you think?
