Homecoming Speech
My school pride has always been something I've been proud of. Coming to Manchester as a CHICE student wasn't always easy. My only way to school was my dad and my only way home was my mom. I always had to get here extra early and I was usually the last one to leave. Being in this position became an advantage and I soon became part of many before and after school clubs and activities. I also played three sports that I have dedicated myself to since freshman year. To me school spirit is about enjoying and loving what you do and committing to a new family since the first day you stepped foot as a falcon. Every time I put on a uniform I am labeled as a Falcon and it is my duty to act like one, respect my school and always work my hardest to make a difference. I am very proud to say that I have done so much to keep my falcon pride on top. Academically, I managed to take all honor classes since my freshman year and stay in the top 10 of my class, as well as having the privilege of being secretary of the Student Council and President of the National Honor Society. I'm also very supportive of all activities and events that happen around school. I'm usually always behind a camera taking pictures and capturing memories. If you ever wondered who started the Manchester Falcons page on Facebook that now has about 850 likes or who tweets on the Manchester twitter page? Then you will finally get to know that that person happens to be standing before you. Being an involved and spirited student Manchester has been the best decision I've made in my life. I have made so many memories here that I will never forget. Like sophomore year when my friends and I had a bet that I could only wear Manchester wardrobe for the whole week(which indeed I succeeded), or junior year when I got a basket full of Manchester items for my birthday and I almost started crying..or even when one of my best friends and I made a promise that we'd get married here at Manchester if we were both single by

    For the last 4 years of high school I have been my school's mascot. It has shaped me in many different ways. Our mascot is Seymour Mule and his partner Annie Mule. We are Woodrow Wilson Senior High "Home of the Mighty Mules." Being a school mascot isn't something you exactly plan to do during your high school years. But somehow I managed to do it and love it more than anything. I didn't exactly choose to be our mascot, it happened due to luck.…

    Upon reading your definition of how Gilb defined “Pride” in his article, I have to agree that his use of stories and circumstances relating to everyday life, had a powerful meaning. I liked how you mentioned how you felt because of how Gilb described “Pride” by using the five senses and how this made you connect to his writing style. I see that as you look at your own life, that you have similar things make you proud in your life, that I can relate to myself. Having a job and working hard is a great source of pride. But you said it best when you stated how proud you are, by being accepted to Penn State, which is a very prestigious college. I would like to say that getting to know you in class these past few weeks has been a truly nice time,…

We use our flag to honor them by decorating their graves. If that doesn't show the honor that comes along with our flag, nothing…

    An aspect of college that I have found exciting is the school pride. I expected to see everyone on campus focused on whatever it is their goal is at Polk State but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how amped up everyone got when there was a school function like club rush, spirit week, or even a basketball game. This small campus had me fooled that no one would care or bat an eye at school related activities but it seems like thats what this school thrives on, it reminds me of the same type of camaraderie you would find at FSU on a football game-day. Club rush and spirit week were the two things that got me the most excited about being a student at Polk State, not only were they bringing all the students together to mingle and make new friendships but it was fun.…

Due to great effort and my love for learning, I received a four year academic scholarship to Savannah State University (which I am so grateful for).…

    One of my most defining experiences to date has been my involvement with the colorguard squad at my school. The colorguard squad is an auxiliary unit that is part of the marching band. We perform with the band at Friday night football games during halftime while spinning flags and rifles to the music. To me, colorguard is so much more than that. Freshman year when I went to tryouts I was terrified. I did not have any friends trying out with me; I was walking into a gym full of older girls whom I had never met. To my surprise, being on the squad for the past three years has been such a defining achievement during high school for me. Without the squad I would have had a completely different experience in school. I learned the value of hard work…

    Not only do I try to accomplish these events in the band, but I am also a leader of the school. This year is my ninth year of being a cheerleader and it has taught me a lot about respect. I understand that people do not consider cheerleading a sport, but they do not take into their consideration the hard work we put into everything we do. This also relates to the band because it is not known as a competitive sport, but we work just as hard in our job and perfecting performances, just as much as any athlete. Nine years of the same activity takes lots of endurance and dedication into a certain passion, and I have learned over the years to have this.…

    I needed to help others to become involved in their school. I enjoyed attending games and other activities. This showed me that school pride was more than wearing your school colors. I was a Falcon! People knew who I was and expected me to act a certain way. Later, I was given the leadership role of cheer co captain my junior year and captain my senior year. This allowed me to develop leadership qualities. I not only was responsible for making sure my squad had information about games, but I was a person they could trust. I was the only four year cheer leader on the squad. I had the knowledge of the program and understood what it felt like to be an underclassman. These unique experience have allowed me to learn compassion. When you have compassion you build life long…
