The word pride initially conjures up the image of a massive beast overshadowing an entire room, yet pride is actually present in routine moments of my life and what I choose to participate in. My pride compels me to spend time analyzing the past, elevating the atmosphere and unity of my school, honestly connecting with family, and contributing to the experiences of people in the surrounding community.
Pride is present in class when my AP US History teacher goes over the Theodore Roosevelt and the New Deal. We start off reading articles arguing whether or not Roosevelt’s New Deal policies and programs were revolutionary or not and greatly assisted the United States’ rise out of the Great Depression.

At the beginning of the year I throw out the idea of a science fiction and fantasy centric Spirit Week, and we refine the idea until we agree to call the theme “Out of this World.” We formally announce the theme a few months in advance, and each grade picks a movie tied to the theme like Men in Black or Space Jams.

Upon our entrance, the crowd laughs at Bottom preparing for his performance as the illustrious Pyramus from Pyramus and Thisbe. Since we speak in an invented language created specifically for the production, the audience understands the action and humor through our vocal and physical emphasis. Once the show finishes, the audience, filled with regular theater attendees, children, and Shakespeare newbies, exits theater. While at church helping share the word of God or on the stage performing Shakespeare, I’m reaching out and servicing others.
Pride is the satisfaction I experience after gleaning new historical insight on the US, completing another student council project, laughing together with family, or finishing the run of another production. It reaffirms the values my country, community, school, and family teach and leads me to become involved with the structure and people of each
