As students we have the right to raise our voices, introduce ourselves to new things. We should be more comitted to do this. We have oppurtunities all around us. London South Collegiate Institute has many programs and clubs.
The Social Justice Committee is a popular one, doing a great job for the events that they organize. The biggest event that the Social Justice Committee was involved in is the Barefoot Walk. It was a great experience for the school. I recommend all the grade nines to participate in it this year. It's very educational and fun as well. You learn many things about the less fortunate children in the world that have to work to support their families instead of going to school. They live sad lives, but at the same time are very inspiring. At the Barefoot Walk there are many amazing speakers and fun entetainment.
School is very important to us students. We should remember to not be afraid to show who we are. Everyone should accept each other in order to have the best school environment. We should participate in more clubs and teams, even make new ones. These are the years to make your most important impression by following the school rules, completing your work and getting the best grades you can achieve. All teachers are going to be proud of you if you succeed, or at least try.
Many of us here have great talents, and those talents should be shared with the school. Encourage yourself to do these things, make new friends and find your comfort zone. If you don't feel comfortable with some people, tell them. I am sure they will understand your concern. Don't be too open with people about things that involve you, especially if you're getting to know them. Respect who you're with and just be yourself. Remember that each person in the school has a great quality in them and, if someone doesn't understand that your unique qualities, there are others that will realize you're unique in your own way!
