Sneak finished, after four days of intense bonding, and students returned to school.
Whether or not they were sorely missed, the now sunburnt seniors walk around campus once again. The seniors are still tired from their thrilling vacation. Most have exciting experiences and stories to share with wondering underclassmen. But the questions on many minds still hang in the air: What were the results of this exciting trip? Was it worth the year of work during junior year? Did the travel truly bring the classmates closer together?
Smiles are now commonly shared amongst many in the Class of 2017. Some younger students have realized that certain seniors now spend more time in cliques that they had not been a part of before Sneak. In fact, the cliques of the senior class may appear less obvious now. Perhaps it is because the Class of 2017 is mixing remarkably well.
If questioned, the majority of students that returned from sneak would agree that the journey did bring the class together. Kimberly Horton (12) said, "I feel like, as a whole, we're all so much more comfortable with each other. It's not weird anymore when someone just goes and sits down with another group of friends—because we're all friends now."
‘Comfortable’ is certainly a great word to describe the relationship between the classmates now. Inside jokes are passed throughout the halls between classes. Memories are embedded fresh in the minds of the seniors; memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
With cliques nearly abolished, more smiles are shared, inside jokes are passed throughout the day, and unforgettable memories and experiences are embedded in the students’ minds; it is safe to say Sneak worked. It certainly brought the seniors together just as it was intended to do. Was it worth all the work during junior year? That is a question for another time...
