Pep Rally

When I arrived at my school, I went to the 'tutoring' classroom, and on the white board was a message about their schedule for the day. The kids were having their Winter Homecoming game that night, so the pep rally was during their 7th hour (one of the hours that I was at the school). The hour before was impossible to find the kids I was assigned to tutor. For the first hour I was on a hunt for my students, just trying to find them in the school. After 30 minutes I realized that by the time I found one of them, there wasn't going to be any time to tutor. So I went back to the room and started my own homework. Once their 7th hour bell rang, the pep rally was to follow. The band marched down every hallway and played their fight song, my old one. I decided to go to the pep rally, because I went to the school, so I knew the traditions and some of the people that still attend the school. Sitting in the bleachers of the fieldhouse was really old. I half expected to turn around and find my old school mates, but instead I just saw kids that I didn't really know. The format was the same, announcing all of the sports teams and recognizing the senoirs on the teams. Then watching the cheerleaders, drama club, poms, hot steppers, and more. It's funny to see how much I had forgotten about how high school was, and how the students acted at school events. The school had so much spirit. I hope to work in a school like that, where the students cheer for their peers, and support each other.
