Summary
I walked nervously down a dark, damp, crowded corridor. Condensation, like a light but steady rainfall, dripped from the poorly maintained air conditioning system high above in the ill lit hall way. Unfamiliar faces gazed in my direction with zombie-like indifference as I brushed shoulders, making my way slowly to the Ramsay High School gymnasium. By the time I finally reached the gym, my sense of self assuredness was shaken, and my worldview, although I was unaware of it at the time, was quickly making perhaps not a U-turn, but at the very least a sharp right.
Ramsay High School was like nothing I had ever seen before. The hallways were dark and crowded, as were the classrooms. The library was small and insufficient to say the least. The computer lab had a total of ten outdated, prehistoric-looking computers, the type one expects to find at yard sales for twenty dollars. This bank of computers represented the school’s entire stock. Later that night, as I was warming up with the rest of my basketball team, preparing to face off against the Ramsay Rams, I noticed something was missing from the pregame ritual: music. Ramsay did not have a pep band.
