Now, for those of you who don't know, I study at the premiere all-girls, christian, private school, Miriam College High School. I have studied there for almost five years. (I transferred in MC in grade 4. Before that, I studied in STC) Miriam is more of my Alma Mater than any other school. I love it there. I love my firends, teachers, the buildings, the facilities and such. But there are some things I'd do like to change.
It's not much of a big deal, but I'd wish that Miriam would improve on giving students a more creative outlet. I mean, sure, in 4th year, we get to study drafting, but what about us first years to third years? I know there aren't much artists in the youth today, but what about the remaining artistic souls?
Imagine, we have a whole week dedicated to playing sports, but not a week dedicated to art? In the grade school, we did have such a week. All the good projects will be posted in the gallery near the end of the year. (I made sure I'd get there every year. Unfortunately, Grade four and five weren't my greatest years.) But what about in High School? Would you believe that the Art Club had to ask for approval to hold a gallery? Sure, they agreed, but shouldn't this be, like, a tradition for the Art Club? Sometimes, I feel like I'm in a prison, and creativity is just not welcome in a christian school.
Maybe I'm being too melodramatic, or maybe not. Either way, this is how I feel, and I think that something has to be done. Art may not be such an important thing to some people, but for students like me, it is my life, and I don't think things like this should continually be ignored.
