The Class System

This week was just another normal week.  In English we read stories about racism just like every other story we read in English.  What did happen is that there was a renaissance rally.  The renaissance rally itself was alright but it got me thinking about the sophomore class.  In this school called Gahanna Lincoln there are four classes of people, freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.  The freshmen are the punching bags of the school, with good reason.  They are usually the most confused and loudest people.  If someone is being annoying it is usually a freshman.  The next levels up from the freshman are the sophomores which I am a member of.  The sophomore class is the worst class in the school.  Half of all of the discipline problems in the whole school are credited to the sophomore class.  The sophomores have numerous drug, pregnancy, and overall attitude problems.  The sophomores think they are more important than they really are.  They also have no pride in the high school at all.  We have anit-pride.  I think the sophomores are trying to take down the school just for the fun of it.  The next level up is the juniors.  In the area pride the juniors are the complete opposite.  They have the most pride in the school.  The juniors are upper classmen and the for the most part act it.  The know what to do and just want to get out like the rest of us.  The top of our class system are the seniors.  Most of them are not here the whole day and the have a sense of regret that they did not do something.  They also want college to start but they are not ready for high school to end.  They are the wisest of the all the classes and will to share it.  Our school is like a large puzzle that is not completely built.  The pieces do not fit together because they pieces are from different puzzles.  Somehow it works.  It is a mystery to all who see it happen and those who make it happen.
