It's Saturday (which means I successfully survived my first week in secondary school hooray for me) and there is still orientation today.

Also, I got a new nickname.

It's Spirit.

No, not Spirit as in ghost entity kind of spirit, but the cheery self encouragement and confidence and energy kind of spirit.

You see, all the new students were split into 18 groups. I was in Group 18 and we had to compete against Group 17. To say the least, our group was pretty lame in the game and some of the people from Group 17 kept making fun of us so I yelled "At least we have spirit! We may be losers but we're spirited losers!"

Group 17 thought it was funny and some of the boys kept making fun of me, so I stuck with it. Each time we began or ended the activity or shouted our slogan, I would yell, "Spirit!"

The leaders began to know me not as Fae, but Spirit.

I can so see myself in 4 years, as a senior.

Fae Bethany "Spirit" G. Form 5A

And then people who knew me would be like,

"Hey Spirit!'

"What's up Spirit?"

"hey Spirit, I need help with this, could you help me?"

Yeah, I think this nickname's gonna stick.
