How to start a high school news story on school spirit and reality television?

help, i have bad writers block! and i always seem to have a hard to time starting out my feature stories like the first sentence or two...how could i open up a story on how the students feel about school spirit? also, how could i open a story on reality television and how popular it is today?

well if this is fictional stuff then you could say something like

School spirit? You want school spirit? I'll show you school spirit (making it seem like student finds school spirit lame or something)

but if its non fiction you can say

"Students around the world have school spirit and are encouraged to have school spirit by teachers etc. But, how do they really feel about it? "... continue it your way :D

Fictional reality tv version:

what is it with reality television? A bunch of people doing what they do and people earn money? Why is it so popular anyways?

NOn-Fictional realitity television version:

Jerry springer show, Big Brother, Apprentice all these shows are reality television. However, these aren't the only ones. There's many more but how many? Is reality television really that popular? Well ......... " etc :D
