Being a Gecko

Being a Gecko

I dislike the Saipan International School’s mascot, which is a Gecko. A bug eating gecko… a gecko that represents weakness in its bug eating glory. Most of my friends from other schools have more appropriate mascots, such as knights, eagles, stroms/penguins, even the lizards (there is a name for it but I have forgotten it). The only other school that probably has a lower level that SIS is the fairy turns, which is whispering palms school mascot. Most of the times I am made fun of because I am a pure bred gecko, I have really been here all my life. I wonder what that would look like on my transcript when I go to college. I am a vey social person, and I have many MANY friends from different schools that I hang out with a lot. I can’t even walk down street market without even having to hug at least 3 people that I know, or that I may have forgotten. I have also noticed a HUGE percentage of my friends are girls, it sometimes puzzles me why, but I guess I enjoy the company of girls because they are not loud and obnoxious all the time. But a lot of my friends that are guys, I’m really close with. We hang out a lot and do crazy stuff, but we are tamed. It is a lot of fun driving around with my friends and just having a good time, carrpe diem as people say.
