We’ve Got Individuality What is individuality.'' It is a lot of things, but mostly it s what makes us different. Having a distinct personality is when you can feel free enough to do your own thing, and not be embarrassed or self-conscious about doing it. School Nobody should be afraid to act or dress the way they want. Everyone has their own style and should feel com- fortable in what they wear or do; if you aren't comfortable, your trying too hard to fit in and not pleasing yourself.” — Anne Leahy is definitely a place where you see this, and at Mazama, We've got individual- ity!” Originality is a characteristic attributed to someone who can be themself, regard- less of the pressure and influence of oth- ers. It's being able to do what the person inside each of us wants to do, without feeling inhibited. According to drama teacher, Ms. Taylor. Individuality is es- sential, otherwise you're just like every- one else. Students show their striking personalities in different way, one is how they dress. When one walks down the halls and sees several people with the same basic haircuts, shirts, jeans, and shoes one doesn't think much of it. But, when someone totally different in style walks by something happens, that person is re- membered. This person is remembered because they are their own individual and are not afraid to show it. You don’t want to follow other people s patterns or styles, you just want to be yourself, is how Leilani Farton feels about individ- uality. Dress isn’t the only way to express exclusiveness. If someone can liven” up a conversation with a joke or do some- thing funny they get everyone's attention. Tom Gardner says, Being an individual is doing things to please yourself, not worrying about pleasing everyone else. People's actions, the things they say, and the way they say them is also a way of saying, Hey, I am my own person; I'm a unique individual. At Mazama We've got Individuality,” and we re not afraid to show it. Anne Leahy’s philosophy is just that. Being original has its benefits, mainly it gets you noticed, which is something many people enjoy. Everyone can have their own marked personalities; and if everyone did, just think how colorful and interesting the world would be. Be a unique individual, be yourself! Flashy fashions hit Mazama!
