Sharing is Caring: Fairness for All

Although AHS has attempted to portray every student as equals, the ugly truth is that, in regards to certain rights, we really aren’t. Senior priority is the number one factor that divides us all, primarily regarding lockers.

As a sophomore, I can relate to the frustration and anger some feel when it comes to waiting for something that we truly crave: our own locker. Receiving the same treatments seniors obtain is something that could establish unity throughout the entire student body.

On the other hand, others may refer to this special treatment as “delayed gratification.” Most seniors have undoubtedly worked hard throughout these four years and deserve compensation. However, besides tradition, there is nothing that makes the delayed aspect a necessity. Sharing “priority” is a great start towards change.

Now, are we willing to break out of the traditions that were established a long time ago and share not only as a school, but also, most importantly, as a family? Results are not instantaneous — it will take patience and dedication, but in time, perhaps we will become one big family.
