Class Color

In our last Issues class, we ended the period with a discussion on class colors. At Deerfield High School the freshman are white, sophomores are gray, Juniors are red, and finally the seniors are black. Mr. Kramer talked about his confusion of why we have class colors. He did make very valid points by saying that shouldn't we be united... since it is Homecoming?! My answer is yes of course we should and we are! we are united in the school and the gym for the pep rally and we all come together and wear a different part of our school colors. We do not distinguish ourselves by race or ethnicity or language, but by our class! As a class we are one. In no way is the senior class anything like the freshman class. We are bigger, smarter, older, more mature, and our decision making skills are very different (not automatically saying good or bad...) One could say that this is a settings if  miniature size compared to what happens in the world today and its what wars are fought over... In a way that's true and not true. Wars are fought over race and skin tone and power, but in high school we do not fight over why we are better than another grade, we simply just say we are better and leave it at that! As seniors we don't believe we need to explain why we are better than freshman, sophomores, and juniors because we just know and  believe we are better than them. Being a senior has been a ride of my life and I've only been a senior for 1 month! I just ended my homecoming weekend and I had a blast and it was one of the best weekends I've ever had. One half of me wants to get out of Deerfield A.S.A.P, yet the other half wants to stay a senior forever. being a senior is a "little thing" in my life and its one of those little things I'll just have to sit back and enjoy it while it lasts.


P.S. I'm fully aware of the.... outrageous cockiness in this blog post and i did it that way on purpose :) SENIORS 2012!!!!!!!
