Being an Edmonds Woodway Warrior can have a different meaning for different people. A senior could say freshmen don’t know what it means to be a Warrior, and they are probably right. Freshmen have only been at EWHS for about a year when seniors have been here for three and a half years, that’s why they win almost every competition between the classes. But the time I’ve spent at EWHS has given me an idea of what it is to be a Warrior, I have learned that taking your academics seriously is a big part to being a EW Warrior, respecting staff and peers, being responsible, and the most fun part showing school spirit at sports games. These are all important parts of being a Woodway Warrior.
Having school spirit is huge at Woodway and you learn that quickly. So dressing up in school spirit gear is never looked down upon because we want our athletes to know that we are there to support them and we believe in them. School spirit is such a easy thing to have too because its fun, like the Friday night football games are my favorite because you can wear the craziest things that are purple and green and no one is going to look at you funny because they will probably look ridiculous too. Another way to show school spirit is participating in spirit weeks. Homecoming spirit week is the best and almost everyone does it! You actually stand out more when you don’t dress up then the people who do dress up because that’s how many people participate. There’s more to being an Edmonds Woodway warrior then just dressing up in spirit gear. Being an EWHS warrior also means being a good student and citizen outside of school. Being respectful to other citizens and staying safe and responsible as possible are good ways to ensure that Woodway students have the good reputation we deserve.
I wanted someone else’s view on what it meant to them to be a Warrior, so I asked my friend and fellow student what it meant to her to be a Woodway Warrior. “ To be a Edmonds Woodway Warrior is to be better then meadowdale obviously… to be a good person, balance school, academics, sports, and your life outside of school”. I couldn’t agree more with her, I hope now you have some idea about what it means to be a Warrior. Being a good Edmonds Woodway Warrior is important to me because if you think about how much time we spend at school, we spend a lot of our teenage years here. Why spend them them with anything but pride and fun? I am proud to be a Edmonds Warrior and I hope you are or become one too.
