Inner-Rebellion

I have rebelled against my high school principal.  My senior year I was captain of the tennis team.  We had found these shirts in a magazine that said on the back "In tennis love means that you have not scored yet."  We thought they were hilarious and so did our coaches, so we invested in them.  

It is known throughout our school that when a team has a game or a match they will wear the same outfit to school.  This way everyone can see who is on the team and advertise for the competition they have that day.  When our "clever shirts" finally arrived we decided to wear out tennis skirts and our shirts to school with flip flops.  The girls were all for it.  However, we only made it through first period until my best-friend Kim and I (co-captains of the team together) were called down to the office.  Our assistant principal had the athletic director and our two coaches there.  We sat down with them listening to a speech telling us how inappropriate our shirts were.  

We fought back against our stickler of an assistant principal by wearing our shirts under our tennis hoodies every match after that.  We did this so we were united as a team.  Everyone knew we had them on underneath in spite of her.  It was a bond we all shared.  This is an example of an inner-rebellion.  This happened in the story "The Socks" by Marjane Satrapi.  In the story the women had to be covered in public so they could not reveal their "shape."  However, in private they would remove their burkhas and  be able to show their true selves.  No one should have to hide themselves from the world...
