Undergraduate / The Socks and Uniform - VA Quirks Essay [5]
My school's uniform consists of a white (light blue if you're a senior) short-sleeve oxford shirt, a dark cerulean blue jumper with my school's insignia on the left side about four fingers below the clavicle, black school shoes, and white crew socks. My version of my school uniform, however, consists of the oxford shirt, the blue jumper, the black school shoes, and the most awesome, colorful, design-filled crew socks.
This summer I entered a heavenly sock store, where I bought three pairs of socks that changed how I would live thereon after. Okay, maybe not "live", but at the very least, they would alter how I would dress. One pair has a white background and differently sized brown and gray elephants placed randomly around them. The best part: on the foot's arc area you can find facts about elephants. Another pair is black with multiple Albert Einstein faces placed around the socks. Albert Einstein's hair varies between yellow, purple, and green. The third pair has palm trees, rainforest plants and a red psittacidae parrot.
The socks I wear with my uniform help me gain an identity, and confidence, within the boundaries of my school's regulations, which is why I have suggested to my principal to extend wearing quirky accessories once a month to the rest of the student body. I show my interests and personality through the socks I wear. I am obsessed with elephants and love science. As for the third pair, well, the parrot seemed pretty cool.
