San Pasqual Academy Dragons Symbolism

The mascot of San Pasqual Academy is a Blue Dragon. Webster defines Dragon's as a mythical monster generally represented as a huge winged reptile with a crested head, often spouting fire. First, I would like to analyze mythical. Mythical is a word that describes stories that are symbolic. When, it comes to foster youth society has a lot of myths about us. For example, were just like any ordinary kids. We cry, laugh, have dreams, aspirations and we hope to make a difference in the world. Secondly, I'd like to explain the definition of monster. Monster is defined any animal or human grotesquely deviating from the normal shape, behavior, or character.  Although, we don't always make good choices and our behaviors are hard to understand, we still do want to be successful. Lastly, the spouting fire thing. We our youth with troubled childhoods  and can be angry. We have to deal with our past so we don't mess up our future. Dragons are very strong and frightening and being a foster youth, we have the choice to be powerful and make positive choices. If we make the wrong choices, we could continue down the negative path that brought us into the foster care system which would be frightening to our future. I am happy to be a dragon.
