Hypocrisy

     When I was in high school, I was a part of the color guard and winter guard. The team was made up of typically sixteen girls and two of them were our captains. Morgan Mosley was one of our captains and was pretty strict on us. She was in the same grade as I was and was captain for three years straight. She was always a really good performer and got even better as the years pasted. The guard looked up to her since she was one of the best on the team. We had many rules and guidelines that we had to follow when a part of the guard. We were not allowed to be on our cell phones during practice, eat nor drink while we were in uniform, and could not change in and out of uniform while on the bus rides to and from our competitions. Here and there, some of us would slip up and break some of these rules. Morgan would sometimes catch us in the act. She would get onto us for not following the rules and then look down upon us for it. As the years past, I got to know Morgan better and we became pretty good friends. I spent more time with her at practice and during our show days. She was always our strict captain that kept us in line, but I started noticing her faults. I would catch her texting during practice after just getting onto someone for doing the same thing. On show days, I would see Morgan eat food while in uniform. She even changed out of uniform on the bus ride on occasions as well. It made me think of all the times she yelled at the team for doing the wrong thing, while all along, she was doing the same thing. It certainly made me resent her at times.
