00:10

article of clothing with her school's name on it She's

00:12

never celebrated a spirit day and at pep rallies she

00:15

tunes out everything happening around her Instead she writes angsty

00:19

poetry about how awful her school is and at club

00:23

rush the only club she signs up for his sandwich

00:26

club club sandwich Maybe they even sharon won't say no

00:30

to a free sandwich and sports Well forget about it

00:32

Sharon wouldn't join a sports team if you paid her

00:35

We tried we really did and she'd rather get the

00:38

bubonic plague five times over then go to the homecoming

00:41

game dido for any band performances choir concerts debate team

00:45

competitions and school place and because she couldn't care less

00:48

about her school her school couldn't care less about her

00:51

Her teachers don't give much of a hoot about her

00:54

like they barely know her Who is she Who is

00:57

this he's got a yearbook full of empty pages and

01:00

a college application with less meat on it than a

01:02

discarded chicken bone Well sharon doesn't care Not surprisingly she'll

01:07

be out of this prison in two more years Okay

01:09

So essay today he's waiting outside of school waiting to

01:12

take the test it's early she's called She hates this

01:14

place She couldn't be more miserable Turns out she's not

01:17

alone Students from schools all over the district have come

01:20

to our school to take the s a t s

01:22

and they're trashing her hallowed halls And for some reason

01:26

sharon doesn't like it Not one bit You find yourself

01:29

telling them all about happy dale high's award winning dance

01:32

and cheer teams that made it all the way to

01:34

the state finals And she tells them the basketball team

01:37

came out on top of their district three years in

01:39

a row She tells them about how her school offers

01:42

seven different languages to study you know mandarin french spanish

01:46

german latin farsi in java Yeah i want italian there

01:50

too It's eight mamma mia Mamma mia All right well

01:53

she tells them that most of the kids in her

01:54

school go on to really great colleges Okay so the

01:58

visiting kids don't really care In fact they even tease

02:00

her a little if she loved your school so much

02:02

Why doesn't she marry it But sharon isn't even bothered

02:05

by the teasing it hits her She stood up for

02:08

her school the school she supposedly didn't care about at

02:11

all Well maybe she cares a little more about it

02:13

than she thought and maybe that's not such a bad

02:15

thing because when graduation day rolls around two years later

02:18

sharon's captain of speech and debate well hey she found

02:20

out she has a voice you've got a few teachers

02:23

who really like her and her in her corner for

02:25

those college application recommendations actually has friends and even owns

02:29

a school t shirt but only because the speech and

02:31

debate team made her bite and because she kind of

02:34

likes it may be And you know what Now that

02:36

she has some school spirit school isn't such a miserable

02:39

place actually digs it sort of her teachers and friends

02:42

are cool and she secretly gets kick out of making

02:44

her debate opponents cry That little status well showing pride

02:48

in your school might make showing up every day at
