Write your own school motto for the school you went to
Poetry Contest Description
Write the Mission Statement for the school you lived through
hello everybody out there in poet land.
Did you go to school?
How did it go?
Sometimes schools have mottos of excellence,
and I do hope that is true of your school
"Life long learners"
"responsible community members"
"we seek the highest "
"No child left Behind"
I wanted, though, to ask of the actual student
to write the motto, based on their own experiences.
It might come out a little different than the one the
administration wrote.
So please consider writing a motto for your school.
Or, write a motto for an imaginary or real school that you would like to go to!
Happy Holidays, and enjoy!

Education Resume of snugglebuck
HIGH SCHOOL
Somerset Public High School
Home of the Spartans. Not to be confused with Trojans. “And we have the pregnant cheerleaders to prove it.”
School Colors; black & red. Because black and blue were already taken by a school whose football team was even worse than ours.
School Motto; preparing students for draft, even before they’ve registered.
Degree Earned; High School Deplorable. “Just grabbed one and ran before they had time to yell, “Bring it back!”

COLLEGE
University of Wisconsin, River Falls Campus, better known as Moo-U, for its veterinarian medicine and agriculture programs. “There’s something sort of sexy about a girl who knows how to artificially inseminate a Holstein cow.”
Also noted, for the notorious Dairy Princess murderess, Lori Esker, who had not just one, but two, made for TV movies about her. (Gawd! Was she a hottie with a smoke’n body, and it all went to waste in prison).
Moo-U is also the summer training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs football team.
School Colors, black & red, again.
School Motto, “All ways wash your hands before, and after, milking cows.”
Degree earned; Liberal Arts with History major and a Philosophy minor. Which translates too, “would you like fries with that?”

GRADUATE SCHOOL
“The School Of Hard Knocks”, Steel Mill Campus,” where no matter how hard you work, you keep having to repeat your sophomore year over, and over, again.
School Colors; Bullshit Brown.
School Motto; “Fuck You! I belong to a Union.”
Degree earned; Two third degree burns, and four back operations earned at the mill, plus a small facial scare earned in one of the last violent labor strikes in the United States of America.

So you may now have a better understanding as to my lack of intellect that I try to make up for, with a poor attempt at humor.
But hey! At this point in life, I might as well attempt to laugh, than spend the rest of it crying.

Mary Carroll High School:
Institutionalized loneliness, disconnect, angst. Locker rooms like cement tombs with their guttural stench of fear. Where cheerleaders tell girls with glasses to get the fuck away from them. Where cheerleaders are taught to swallow by the baseball team. How the prettier and thinner you are the more you hate yourself. The walls bathed in the menstrual blood of the key club. How you learn to cut to release the pain of straight B's. The tears your mother cries at your irrevocable failure. The girl with the blue hair in my history class who loved Byron and Rick Astley and love spells. How we danced all giddily in the rain at lunch, our mouths open to that liberating sweetness. Spinning, spinning the hurt away.
