Change of Chairs

I graduated from Academia Maria Reina High School, my high school’s location is in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Every year, my high school had an activity called “Cambio de Sillas” which translates to Change of Chairs. The Change of Chairs is an activity done at the end of the school year, usually, at the beginning of May. The activity consists of high school seniors decorating their high school uniform with the colors and letters of the university they’ll be attending in August. Also, high school juniors decorate their uniform blue considering that in my high school, from 7th to 11th grade you wear white and as a senior you wear blue. The activity is really fun because you see everyone dressed up with the colors of their university and it is really nice. That day it’s a no class day, all the students from my school come to the school, but there are no classes that day. At the end of the day, we all go to the auditorium and each grade seats in their corresponding chairs. The class president of each class (from 7th to 11th grade) give a speech saying goodbye to the seniors. After the speech, the juniors enter the auditorium, dance, and seat in their corresponding chairs, then the seniors enter, dance and seat in their corresponding chairs. At that time, people start crying because the senior president gives a beautiful speech about the last seven years. Then, the president asks for all seniors to stand up from the senior chairs and join the auditorium stage, after that, the juniors dance and run in zigzag to the senior chairs and sit there. It is a really nice activity and definitely really fun.
