Besides, when I am feeling political, I want to be able to wear clothes made of natural, undyed fibers, sewn or assembled in countries that do not pollute the environment or exploit child laborIf I have to wear a uniform, I wont feel like me! To that I replied, So your personal heroes didnt wear school uniformsBut they went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you since I had no idea that your ego （自我） is so fragile that it would be completely destroyed by a uniform”That really made him angry and he shouted, Youre just copying what you hear that new music teacher saying because you are crazy about him! Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went to our separate classesThe vote for or against uniforms took place later that dayThe results of the vote and the principals decision will be announced next weekI wonder what it will beI know how I voted, and Im pretty sure I know how Andy votedHow would you votefor or against?59Amy and Andy often get angry with
