Saipan International School (SIS)
is the one of the two private schools on Saipan that does not require students
to wear uniforms. I believe that SIS should not have uniforms because having to
wear one type of clothing is very dull and constricting. Saipan International
School already has a dress code where students have a set of rule on what type
of clothing they should wear and what type is appropriate.
I do not really know the main
reason I do not like having to wear a uniform; I have experienced about 2 years
of wearing a uniform and I can say it is not really a pleasant thing to wear. I
think one of the reasons why I do not like to wear uniforms is because of the
material they are made out of. I live on an island with only two seasons, rainy
season and dry season; Saipan is located near the equator so one would know
that it’s really hot and humid here. Most uniforms are made out of cotton or
some sort of heavy duty material, making it really uncomfortable to wear
because it intakes so much heat. I mean we could find another material that is
light and comfortable but then we would have to customize it, ship it (Usually
it takes about a month or so for big shipments) and then sell them off. Saipan
is pretty fair from America, the closest people we can get to is Asia, but they
also make really heavy duty uniforms. 
Another reason why I do not like
uniforms is because that we would have to wear it every day; students usually
have 2-3 sets of uniforms and have to constantly wash them for the next school
day. I find it a hassle that I have to wash my uniforms almost every day
because we need it for the next school day; not only is washing a hassle but if
the uniform has a solid color, the color fades. I think that having to wear
regular clothing is much easier than uniform because I do not need to
constantly wash the same shirt and jeans for the next school day. Another thing
about casual clothing is that I could choose the type of pants I want to wear;
I know for a fact that most uniforms for girls require a skirt and I do not
like to wear skirts. I hate the fact that once a strong gust of wind comes your
skirt shows the whole world your underwear. I like the fact that I can
alternate between jeans and shorts…I am not really someone that likes to wear
girly cloths; I prefer wearing shorts or jeans and a sweat shirt.
Those are the reason why I do not
want SIS to have uniforms; I have worn a uniform for two years and those were
not the happiest years of my life. I swear that uniform made me feel 3 times
uglier and 3 times fatter; the material was awful, I had to wear an ugly green
shirt that was made out of the thickest cotton I have ever seen in my life. I
was happy I had the choice to wear khakis instead of skirt but the khakis were
extremely uncomfortable and ugly too… I do not want to have uniform not, I am
happy with the strict dress code that we have at SIS and I hope it will stay
the same for a long time…
