Change Is a Good Thing


Some think school is a great thing. Others do not. The truth is, is that school is not the greatest place, but it is a place to learn and to make friends along the way.  Yet, sometimes it just is not fun. That is why many people would like to change things in school. For example, at lunch, the line is so long that you can barely get your food with enough time left to eat it. Also, the foyer is the most crowded spot in the whole building, especially during passing time. Another thing would be that if you do not get to the bathroom quickly, you may not be able to go during passing time without being late for class.

There are hundreds of students in a high school at one time, which is why they split lunch up into four different times, a lunch, b lunch, c lunch, and d lunch. Most students enjoy a lunch the most because you can get your food faster. Although you can get your food faster, it is still crowded and if everyone ran to the cafeteria, then it would be a challenge to get your food fast no matter how close your classroom is. Even though there are six different food stations, it seems like everyone wants the same thing so one or two of the lines and super long.

The foyer is a popular place. Students go there because their classes are all the way on the other side of the building but they do not want to walk all the way around so they take the shortcut. You may think that it is a shortcut but in reality, it is probably the slowest way you can go because students walk at the speed of a snail. The foyer is also where seniors like to go because of the senior bench and that makes it even more crowded. Sometimes, students push the person in front of them so that they can move faster but it is not the person in front you that is the one making the people go so slowly.

Passing time is hard enough just to get to your class on time, but when you have to go to the bathroom, that is a whole different story. The line at the bathroom can go outside of the door. If you want to go before class you should ask your teacher first so that you do not get counted tardy or absent. Also, if you are a girl, a lot of times they like to check how they look in the mirror before class and that can cause some people to get angry because they have to wait to wash their hands. It would help if students used bathrooms for going to the bathroom so that some people would not get confused and frustrated.

As I said before, high school is not a perfect place, but it is the little things that help. Such as, Making more lines or getting better food at lunch so that people do not all go to one or two lines, making more back ways for people to walk in so that the foyer is not as busy, and lastly, having more bathrooms or more passing time so that people are not in a rush to go to the restroom.
