One day in English class, minding my own business just drawing on my note book, pretending to pay attention to my teacher I suddenly heard a loud BEEP. Then at that moment I heard the intercom come on and say "will you please send Julieanna Lucero to the main office, Thank you". Then I grabbed all my crap and left to the office. When I got there the secretary directed me to the Principal's office and made me sit down. Then I waited and waited and waited and finally the principal came in, She sat down and said " Your one of the few students I have chosen to help me decided if we should have uniforms here at AHA". Then I said "What uniforms!? No you can't!" Then the Principal said " That's why I want you to come up with the persuasive argument and come tell me next week what you think". Then she sent me back to class and that when I started thinking...
(Day three, four more days left)
The next few days I thought back to when I had to wear uniforms in middle school, of course I hated them. They were ugly, itchy and at my old middle school had two or three main colors to choose from, so there wasn't much color there. I would always think nobody has to wear uniforms in real life why do we have to wear them now? Then I would go home and complain about them and everyone would say there not that bad, but they didn't have to wear them, so I just said whatever and went on with my day. Then when I would talk to my Nana about them she would say she liked them because they didn't separate people, gangs couldn't show their colors to other gangs to start a fight. It wouldn't show which kids had money to buy nice clothes and the kids that didn't, but it was good because it sort of united people in a different way. That when I noticed the some of the older people were for the uniforms because it keeps things simple, and the younger kids didn't like it because they were ugly, itchy and a lot of other things. That's when I was thinking the maybe I was for uniforms...?
No you know what I'm not for uniforms at all. No. No. No! Do you know why the colors at my middle school changed every year? Well it was because they had issues with the uniforms like when the white got taken away it was because boys at the school were throwing water at the girls shirts and showing there bras and boobs. They took away the tan because it wasn't a school color and so on so forth with the colors being a problem. Then again middle school was the only school I ever had to wear uniforms which also makes no sense??? Oh my god and buying those things were a pain in the butt! Either the stores only had certain sizes, you could only get certain colors and they probably didn't have those colors. You know stuff like that. Then when I got into high school, a junior to be exact I went over to my Nana's and she showed me her new uniforms and they were heavy gray polo shirt. I said "Nana what do you think of you new uniforms, do you like them"? What do you think she said? "I don't like them at all don't you think their ugly and their heavy and sometimes itch". Then I laughed and then BOOM! It was really ironic that the principal tells me to come up with an answer on uniforms with back up for my school. (Day seven, The last day) I really don't know what the right answer is or what to tell the principal but I think I know. That day when I heard my name over the intercom I immediately knew what it was about. When I got to the office I didn't even say "Hey where do I go". I just walked strait into her office and waited and waited and waited. She finally walked in after about twenty minutes and said "Well what have you decided". I started to tell her everything I thought about over the last couple of days and all she did was nod. "You still haven't told me your answer" she said. "I think yes and no. I think no nasty ugly clothes that only come in one size, but we should be able to wear regular clothes with maybe a few restrictions so the girls don't look like no hoochie mamas and the boys don't have their pants down to there knees". "I mean it makes complete sense, right"? She said nothing and dismissed me and a few weeks later the announcement came on and said "I have made up my mind no uniforms for AHA". And there it was.
