Solidarity means to unite and to work as a whole. Like Jesus said, we are all brothers and sisters. Being in solidarity is recognizing others as our brothers and sisters and actively working for their good. To achieve solidarity, we accumulate bonding.
Bonding refers to the connections and relations between beings. The stronger the bonding is, the more they are connected and closely related, as well as the more they are willing to be considerate to others.
When we have strong bonding within a group, we result in a state where everyone is deeply related to everyone, and they tend to consider the whole instead of the individuals. They have become one where there are no differences between you and me, and they have reached solidarity.
We have gone through a lot during the pandemic in the past few years. At first, the situation was really bad. School activities were mostly suspended, there were difficulties in teaching and learning, schedules were messy…It was just a disaster for every one of us.
But then the situation changed. Despite the fact that people were isolated geographically, we bonded more during this tough time. There was more communication and help among students and teachers in order to face all the uncertainties and inconvenience caused by the pandemic. We followed the new regulations to recapture the order that we lost.
It is the solidarity among students and teachers which truly tackles the problems that we face and improves the circumstances of our school life. Students and teachers are willing to suffer from small inconveniences on their own for the sake of the benefit of all.
Now we are at the last stage of our secondary school life and we are about to jump through the last hurdle. We firmly believe that the solidarity and bonding among us all that could drive us through the challenges and lead us to success.
