STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE, STRENGTH THROUGH COMMUNITY, STRENGTH THROUGH ACTION

     Mr. Ross handed out Wave membership cards today. On the back of mine was a red X, symbolizing that I am a monitor for The Wave. My job is to report back immediately to Mr. Ross if any members do not obey the rules of The Wave. The Wave and my new positon in it feels "like being born again." I feel as if i am a completely different person. For once in my life i belong to something, something that doesn't judge me; something that accepts me for who I am and not for who i'm not. At lunch i actually had enough courage to sit with the other Wave members, my company was actually wanted by them! A mere three days ago people would get up when I would sit near them, but now I'm being invited to sit with the cools kids. This change is all thanks to The Wave, and I was shocked when Laurie didn't agree that The Wave was a good thing. By her going against the idea of The Wave, she is actually going against the community that we formed as a result of it. How could something as good as The Wave, an idea that has only done me good, be questioned?

     My mission now is to recruit new members for The Wave, that is the new task Mr. Ross has assigned to us. I will do everything in my power to ensure that The Wave, and everything that The Wave stands for be spread throughout the entire school. Everyone has a right to be apart of such an amazing thing, and anyone who doesn't agree with the ideas, and anyone who doesn't obey the rules of The Wave are extremely stupid and don't understand the greatness that The Wave symbolizes. All who are against The Wave are people I wish not to associate myself with, and are people i wish to be silenced.
