Sheffield School Spirit

As I walk the halls of Sheffield, I have found myself becoming more and more fond of my school, but also less and less fond of the students who attend. The students at Sheffield High School, to me, are not school spirited at all. Initially, what is school spirit, you may ask. Well it is the feeling of being proud and enthusiastic about the school you go to. Or it could even be the emotional support that you show to your school. I have noticed that many of our fellow students don’t really care about what goes on in their school or even try to join anything to represent Sheffield. Most of these teens, now a days, just go to school and come straight home to do what?…..absolutely nothing. This shouldn’t be acceptable. Every student must contribute their time to anything positive concerning school. Whether it’s participating in sports, the band, cheer leading, dance team or even different clubs and associations such as a spirit squad, it's all something that shows that you are a part of your school.

Natalie Portman, a movie actress, admits that she absolutely loved school coming up as a teen, "I loved school so much that most of my classmates considered me a dork.”  Maybe this may be the case to many of our students at our school. If they express too much school spirit, they would look down upon. This is an extremely insincere assumption to make because everyone should take pride in their school and support it 100 percent.

As for me, I take apart in every girl sport there is to be offered and try to make it to all of the games and school activities if possible.  You can catch me in the stands yelling extremely loud or even fussing when our team has made an error, so I can guess you can consider me as a school spirited scholar. This is how every student should be, well at least most.
