Pint-Points and Gratitude : Use your God-given minds, ok?

Its such a wonder that a small thing -like Sports Day- can potray people at their worst behaviour. Let me tell you what I have seen during the week as we neared the Sports Day:

  1. Foolishness- People who break friendships because of a miscommunication that happened because of a teacher's fault. Utter Stupidity!!
  2. Irresponsibility - When you're told to do something ( like get the caps before the rehearsal ) because you're the one responsible, then just do it. Don't wait till a crisis and then embarass the entire house in front of others!!
  3. Brutality - Winning isn't everything, so you don't go around abusing your fellow team-mates just because YOU wanna win. Leadership is about others, not you! Ever heard of servant leadership??? Does that ring a bell to you?
  4. Talking BIG - You want us to show some spirit, then you've gotta show it too...Other leaders encourage and potray the spirit instead of ordering others to do it but not doing it yourself. Ever heard of LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE????
  5. Disrespect - Just because they deducted your discipline marks doesn't mean you have to throw a fit at that teacher and curse! What leadership is that? What example are you potraying?
  6. Pessimism - Just because your team did not win, you don't have to hate the school so much and look at the glass half-empty. Hey, theres more to life than WINNING!
  7. Immaturity - Someone seems to have a physical flaw ( smell...) doesn't mean that you have to gossip about her behind her back. Just tell her and then you don't have to suffer. You call yourselves PREFECTS but act like bimbos! I'll do the necessary and tell her since you prefects are so insecure!
  8. Pride - It's reeking! No wonder I can't stand the smell!!!
  9. Shallowness - Its so stupid to break friendships over boys!!! For the good and pure saint of the universe, boys aren't all that important right now!!
  10. Insecurity - Everyone else is talking bad about the other just to make up for their insecurity... I've got three words : GROW UP, PEOPLE!!!!

I'm not posting this because I'm angry or anything. Firstly, I need to vent out, secondly, some of you really need to know what has been happening behind the scenes and thirdly, OUR SCHOOL IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF GOOD LEADERS!!!! Anyway, I am to be blamed also, so don't think I'm complaining about everything.

To those who have broken friendships, let me tell you that its no point risking a friendship for a school event. Think about it, its just SO STUPID!

Thank God that POPE house won! Thank YOU, GOD for answering my Prayers!

GO POPE HOUSE!!!
