Reflection #8 (Cultural #3)






I, as did around 700 other students, attended Washington Community H.S.'s homecoming last saturday!! It was an intense expierence. That was the most students I've ever seen doing the same thing at one time by choice, not because it was required. It was quite interesting looking at all of the different choices everyone made on their outfits. I know certain people’s styles, when they are in school as well as when they are out of school. Certain people I’ve seen dressed up, dressed down, dressed every which way and yet their dress/semi-formal “tuxedo” choice surprised me. Everyone had a fabulous time, as far as anyone I’ve talked to (besides Charise D.) and if not, the night was still good. There was good food (salsa and chips) with a lot of soda to keep everyone pumped up to keep on dancing for school spirit!
I also participated in spirit week at school, which was amazingly hilarious on most days. Nerd day by far had to be my favorite day. I love seeing what people think of as geeky. It shows that as our generation gets older, what seemed cool even ten years ago or eleven is slightly geeky. I know, because as I looked at my classmates’ and underclassmen choices in geeky-ness I was amazed. I still see people wearing some of the things, maybe not all together and oversized, but some of the things I have even still seen being sold in stores!! It’s truly amazing what our class as a group can come up with. It’s what we’re being raised with, in our particular little group of WCHS. I love every minute of it though.

  1. I too was amazed at how creative people got during spirit week. I didn't like how on nerd day some people just threw on random mismatched clothes. My favorite part of spirit week was twin day when all of the art department teachers matched. :)

  3. Homecoming this year was a blast! I did participate in spirit week, but only on a few select days. I wish the theme was different and we had cooler days for spirit week...maybe like a pj day or a pirate day or even a dress like an animal day would of been fun and creative.
