The Bottom of the Chain |
In
high school there is a system of status. In a way this little system is
like the food chain.
The
seniors are at the top of the chain, then juniors, sophomores, and on the
bottom of the chain are the freshmen. High school is fine and everything,
but being a freshman is not always a good thing. As a freshman you come
into the school thinking, “I am finally here, now, I will be taken a
little more seriously.” Then you hear all of those comments about how
freshmen are so stupid and immature. That is when you realize that you are
at the bottom of the chain.
Just
like the food chain there is someone at the top. The people at the top are the seniors. They are treated like
royalty. They completely control the school (with the acception of the
staff, of course). What they say, goes. They are like lions in the food
chain, devouring everything and anything in their path. They show no mercy
for the little people, especially the Freshmen. Then again, everyone picks
on the little Freshmen.
Next
are the Juniors, who are right below the “lions” they are kind of like
the vultures of the food chain. How can Juniors possibly be compared to
vultures? Well, much like vultures they may not be appreciated but they
aren’t going to be messed with. Juniors
like vultures, are respected but they still cannot wait until they are
seniors so that they can be in complete and total control.
The
worst on the food chain are the Sophomores. They are basically like the
rodents of the food chain. Not all of them, of course, but the majority of
the Sophomores are. They think that they are the hot stuff. For people who
were just freshmen, Sophomores
are acting pretty high and mighty. I cannot even remember the number of
times that I have heard things like “stupid little freshmen. When asked
what she thought about freshmen, Sophomore, Saileha Bholat made a
simple comment that says it all, “Freshmen are so immature.”
Sophomores seem to have forgotten that they were Freshmen not too long
ago. The word Sophomore does not mean superiority.
And
lastly on the food chain are the little freshmen. They are at the bottom
of the chain. They are like the bacteria of the food chain; they are even
lower than bread mold (only because bread mold can be used for
penicillin.) That is how the Freshmen at this school are treated, at
least. Yes, there are some immature Freshmen in this school, but
then again, aren’t there some immature seniors too? I just hope that the
Freshmen can survive our first year of big bad high school. Freshmen are
treated like the gum on the bottom of someone’s shoe.
