Imagine it is a warm August day, you and all of your friends are crammed into the bleachers covered in red and white from head to toe for the Welcome Back Rally. You are seniors and it is your turn to do the Bulldog Grunt. The cheerleaders are in front of your grade in formation and then it starts.

Instead of the entire grade cheering and coming together to work towards a common goal, people are still divided. People are still choosing to opt out of school spirit, not aware of the greater effects of this.
