Coming from an officer's perspective, school spirit, most especially, class spirit is something we strive for. Being in the class of 2010 means that simple goal is 10x harder than it is. Freshmen year was any typical freshmen year in milpitas high school. Lack of school spirit, 4th place in everything, typical. Sophomore year was suppose to be the year of improvement. We aren't as looked down and we just go unnoticed. But it turned into a downfall. We pursued on getting the same status of a freshmen class and ended up getting a worser status than we were in freshmen year. Most people in the class of 2010 felt like a disgrace. School spirit went from a zero to a negative. The role officer is to uplift and prove their capabilities to the people they serve. I speak for myself, but I know the other officers knew how difficult it is coming into junior year. Imagine those circumstances as an officer.
Yet, the rest of the girls (officers) did the best we could. Our spirit was heightening. The junior class was finally climbing its way out of last place. Slowly but surely. However, it seemed like the never ending haters and doubters always appeared. It's hard because as officers, we try so hard to promote class spirit. We try and plan events that can elevate the class. It all goes unnoticed. However, if we have a small mistake, it seems to be over exaggerated. We were always to blame. It was all our fault that our class sucked. Imagine how heavy of a burden each officer had to carry.
Junior year was it. We, the officers and the trojan olympics team knew it. We worked hard, HARD. We were dedicated and we knew that by cooperating with each other, we would win the gold. Still, people had to say crap. People from other classes and even people from our own class doubted the capability this new team can bring. Underdogs. But we were ready to prove them wrong. Each and every single one of them.
4th, 4th, 1st. It feels surreal that we were one of the winners of Trojan Olympics. I'm already prepared for still the continuing shit talking, seriously, what else they can say. We did it, how else can we prove ourselves. I'm already for the whole we cheated scenario. We won this fair and square, and if secret practices are cheating, then I guess everyone else cheated right. Acceptance. I love how we prove to so many of our own class doubters did not expect this win. 3rd place, yeah right. Thanks for doubting, it only gave us motivation to prove you wrong. Now I hope all those people that were in that situation, learn. What's wrong with showing class spirit and being proud of being in this class? Yeah, think of a good reason.
And to my fellow trojan olympics team: thank you guys. Thank you for the memories and I know that prayer before the big event played a key role. We've grown to be a family within that one month. I know it was a long and short 27 days, but we got through it as winners. Remember this isn't for our own glory, but for our class. I hope you guys promote this pride we've built and to continue to set the example for the rest of the class. I love y'all! "Motherfuckers!!!!" hehehehhe
