Sports Program

"Sports Program"

The sports program is a well needed part of school. Our sports program allows us to play football, netball, and basketball. It allows us to have an outlet form our studies. That is what the sports program was designed to do. To challenge our competitive spirit in a positive way.

A sport not only allows us to let go of some energy but it also helps us to become a well rounded person. On our school logo it says spiritually, mentally, and physically, before the sports program came about all we were concerned with were the spiritual and the mental/academic. Most of our students here at Bermuda Institute if not al are doing fairly well in both of those departments. While we do need those two aspects they do not make us a well rounded person.

I know for my self that when I first came to B.I. They did not have a sports program. That was a great disappointment to me, because at my old school we had a sports program. I did not enjoy my ninth grade year as much as I could have because I did not know how to express my love for my school without playing basketball. That caused me to look at my school in a negative way. In tenth grade we began the sports program. Although we did not do extremely well it allowed me to express my love for my school the way that I knew how.

Sports allows students that do not have good grads to get there grades up to par. You have to have above a certain G.P.A. to play sports, and if they wish to play sports they get the required Grade Point Average.

I really believe the competing with other schools really permits us to gain a greater sense of pride for our school. It brings us closer together as a school. When we are one it also makes the classroom experience an easier one on the teachers and students.

We have had a couple of altercations at our sport functions. I believe that god put these in our path to make us better people. I think that we passed with flying colors. We held our standards high and did not lower them for anyone. If anything we were witnesses to those people that acting out character.

I love to play sports and as I said earlier in the essay it allows me express myself in ways that I can not do in through my school work.

Dr. Tucker please allow us to play in the sports program you will not regret it. We will do our best to not let you,
