Positive Aspects of the DRCSS

            The DRCSS has so many positive aspects it’s almost impossible to narrow it down to just 4.  As many as there are and how I wish I could talk about all them, here are a few to think about.

            To kick off this great piece of literature, I’m going to talk about all the healthy food you can get for lunch in the cafeteria. It’s really great that they sell cheeseburgers and fries everyday of the week. Not to mention the always heart-healthy specials that are different every day, minus fish sticks Fridays. Don’t forget how the brand of chocolate milk alternates from Dairyland to Beatrice every week, Dairyland obviously being superior yet they still stock the fridge full of the inferior Beatrice. I would really like to see some white milk stocked one of these days, and whatever happened to the nice fruit salads? All that good food always keeps you full right through gym class every time!

            I loved having to be in the weight room everyday for P.E. because the gym wasn’t safe. Just because the floor could collapse doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be in there. The foundation of this school is so strong; I don’t see how all this damage is happening. Then they put those great orange barriers up telling you that the middle of the gym is way safer than the outer edges. The best part is when the game stops because the ball went outside of the “safe zone” and you have to wait until the teacher goes and gets it for you.

            Speaking of teachers, my favourite teacher, Trevor Sytnick, no longer teaches at the DRCSS. When he walks into the room, his always joyous mood spreads instantly. He gives the best lectures about Apple, Twitter and, of course, Bruce Springsteen. He leaves his class to go brush his teeth immediately after drinking coffee because can’t stand the feeling it leaves in his mouth. The great nerd talks we have about Zelda are one of my favourite things. He never fails to out nerd anyone that challenges him. His choice in music is questionable but when he plays, he captures your attention immediately with the way his face lights up and then scrunches. He was a golden teacher.

            I really admire this school’s commitment to construction. How it took the whole school year to fix the front steps, rendering the one entrance useless. Then they started trying to fix the other side but ran out of money and stopped after a week. There’s always broken windows, the floor is collapsing. Not to mention the ceramic tiles are terrible for your knees to run on. The lockers are all broken and vandalized and painted a wonderful bright red. I just love looking at them all the time. The scenic views in the classrooms are the best.

            In conclusion, this is a great school and I feel very privileged to be a part of it.

My best piece of writing.
