performance and complaining about red carpet
performance from jan 30, nice and sloppy, but there it is. sound is off again, dangit.
so there's a little problem i have about something in the swing club here that i will liken to getting that ugly piece of carpet in high school called an academic letter.
now, i feel like i have really done well in swing high school, i've not gotten a 4.0 gpa, but i've done well. i've improved a lot since i started, and have been heavily involved with extra curricular activities.
and when i started, i wanted that ugly piece of red carpet because i saw all the talented people had them and carried them around with pride, and wherever they went, people knew they were from bellingham swing high school. and my goal was to aspire to be good like those people and get that letter, though i never did all those extra curricular activities with that as my goal or anything, but i definitely saw it as some sort of award that i could get if i were good enough, or involved enough, or good those excellent grades.
but though i'm leaving swing school when i leave for my mission, and i'm leaving with some pretty good grades, apparently i didn't kiss up to the right teachers because some people who i don't think earned those letters got them, and some who i think deserve them, including myself, have not. and i don't understand and it's really just a stupid status symbol and ugly piece of red carpet. but i still want one. :(
