- 01:00
a college application with less meat on it than a

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

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

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

her debate opponents cry That little status well showing pride
