Hakuna Matata

What a wonderful phrase. But not for a senior class motto. Vinemont High seniors, think about the kids that will walk the halls of our school in five years. Even ten years! Think about the way we look at all of the pictures of the past graduates and laugh at the way they're dressed. One day, kids are going to laugh at us like that. Not only because of the way our hair looks, but because our motto will be from The Lion King. How immature can we look? Why would we want to get made fun of in the future? Twenty years from now, we're going to look back on "the glory days" and wonder why we were so dumb. We're going to wonder, what were we thinking? And really, what are we thinking? Hakuna Matata? We all know that it means no worries for the rest of your days, but Simba did have a few problems. When he grew up he had to go fight scar to reclaim his position as King of the Pridelands. What is we have to fight our uncles one day and we realize what a dumb idea it was to make our senior class motto Hakuna Matata.

But if the motto does end up being Hakuna Matata, we'll all be fine. We're still going to graduate from high school. High school is either the best or the worst time of our life, so really... the class motto isn't the biggest issue. If you're like me, you're biggest issue is graduating and getting as far away from that school as possible. While it may seem like high school isn't very important now, it really determines our whole future. The way you perform in high school determines what colleges will take you, and the college you go to helps you with the career you want. So for those of you who are like me and absolutely hate high school, just remember to work hard and do your best anyway. It'll pay off in the end. And if we're lucky, we'll have no worries in life. On second thought, maybe Hakuna Matata should be our class motto. Nah!
