Scene two: cute little girl screaming while fighting with her vest and skirt
As I saw a little girl attempting to strip out of her uniform this morning, I couldn't help but think of my own elementary school days. I'd wake up and put on my socks half asleep. I'd grab those khaki shorts I wasn't sure were made for men or women but I knew I had to wear anyways. I'd be dropped off in a school where both girls and boys wore the same exact outfit; not exactly style at its best. The only thing that let me stand out, my most cherished possession at 13 was my purple backpack.
While the rest of the kids had the typical Jansport backpack, mine was unique. My best friends and I had bought ours together. We had chosen one that would represent us as a group. It was special because there was meaning behind it, because of the story it told. To a child, a backpack can be more than just a bag for all their stuff; it can be the one thing that lets them demonstrate their likes, what they believe it. This is why we believe in the importance of backpacks. We are happy to share our story through our backpacks and invite you to become part of a greater movement; one that you'll be proud to represent.
